    Saturday, May 9, 2009

    I just want to let you all know that I have been on DS for almost two years now.  When I first joined, I had recently been discharged from a two week stay at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital.  I have come a long way and thanks to Daily Strength, I was able to grow, learn, and share.  Knowing my triggers and Using Affirmations and Cognitive Therapy has been a big help in my recovery....
