Thank you everyone, I appreciate the kind words and support. That talk was a journey in itself, I was rehearsing it at times about 500 yards from where I took my STBX on our first date. Talk about having to deal with pain while practicing preaching how to deal with pain!
Please, please, please know how incredibly vital this board was for me and my journey, well being, and actualization. Wonka, Zues, Sotto, V, Cadet, Jelly, Mona, and more were literal lifesavers. I can't thank you all enough. Even Mr. Bond with his one word replies was vital.
I'll say it again - if you're on here, LISTEN to the vets, work everyday to better yourself, and never stop believing. You simply never know what's going to happen.
Oddly enough I've directed so many people with WAS's to this board and only one that I know of took me up on it. I'd say to them, "This place saved my life. I mean that. The reason I'm not drinking, getting high, or hating women is because I was challenged on a daily basis to better myself, to stay positive and to believe in a process bigger than myself. Plus I got slapped around when I needed it."
I love you guys and gals, and truly hope everyone finds the same peace I was able to. It's been a long road, but one colored by so many beautiful people.
Big hug, PP
