To my friends in D.S.
Μy status remains the same since I joined this amazing group. “Glad to have found you”, it reads and it couldn’t be more true.
It’s been a bit over a year that I am with you, reading your stories, giving my two cents whenever I can, feeling for you and realizing that I am not alone.
The hardest thing for me was to open up. I tend to keep things inside me, especially when it comes to things that make people sad. It took me 6 years to tell my closest friends that my brother is a heroin addict. And I didn’t even intend to let them know. I did because just as we were having this nice get together, I burst into tears. I had to let them know.
Coming here was a big step for me, despite the fact that we’re all anonymous.. Oh gosh, we are anonymous and we are a legion. The motto of The Anonymous, the hacktivists.. Anyway, back to what I want to say.
I want to say THANK YOU EVERYBODY, thank you for being here, for sharing, for pouring your heart out, for helping, for being wonderful human beings.
I wish I could all give you a hug, just a big, tight hug…
This community we are forming - out of pain and despair, out of fear and the need to vent or just be heard - is actually a community where hope, strength and support blossoms.
Who would expect that in such a poisoned soil flowers can bloom?
On that note, I want you to know that I give names to my plants
I just planted rocket seeds and I named them “DS village”. It might be a bit late for growing rocket, but better late than never. This soil has magical properties

Again, so wonderful to read your writings. The trial you are being put thru is ongoing and you will grow from it. It is something you never thought would happen and now that it has you deal with it the best you can. Pray and hope your brother finds the want to get out of that world because the truth is, there\'s another world going on around him. A better world, but he will never know this because someone said so. He has to know it from experience.. coming off heroin is a very scary thing to think about -let alone, actually do it. He stay\'s in my prayers. peace,feather
