Six months ago I would have said you were full of it for saying this. I felt like I couldn't find my ass with both hands and a map-I was that twisted around in my life. But I took your advice and the advice of others (and I'm lucky to have a therapist who doesn't hold my hand, but gets in my face *sometimes literally* and tells me the truth) and I've worked my butt off. A lot of it's here, a lot of it's not. But I've stayed focused on the goal of healing and finding my balance and and 'me' again. I've gotten a whole lot more than I bargained for from when I started. I've felt like I was healing, I've had people here tell me that, but last night my husband (without prompting) said to me, 'You're healing'. Sweeter words I don't think I've ever heard.

Guess what Anthony...I don't think you're full of it anymore!
