Wow! I have been part of Daily Strength for a while and was terrified that if I asked someone to become my "Friend" I would be rejected. I finally become brave enough to reach out and the response has been great! It feels so good to know that there are people out there that are willing to help others. Being stuck at home with agoraphobia I was beginning to feel that that was it - but I feel that reaching out is helping me with my great journey ahead of recovery!!!! I had a therapy appointment last night, for those of you who know me that it is major. I have been in therapy with the same therapist for about 7 months, but it was done over the phone because I was too scared to leave my home, yesterday was my 2nd session in person with her and feels so good to know that I CAN go to her office and survive! I mentioned to her how wonderful this sight is and how happy I am that I feel that I now have friends and she also thought that having friends on this sight is going to make a difference in my recovery!!!! For the first time in a long time I feel happy to wake up and face the day and its challenges! Thank you for taking the time to read my journal.

Yeah!! Boy there are those chills again and now my eyes are tearing up. If the smile on my face gets any bigger my face will break! What can I say except I understand. You are my friend as others I have met through this site too. I do look forward to finding out how everyone is doing. God bless you and yours. Have a great weekend and remember I really do care. Congratulations again on the face to face visit. :0)
