Thanks for sharing this Anthony. I hope to meet you someday too!

I agree with you Marlene. I've discovered from being here and doing work upon myself, that attitude and desire count for an awful lot. Like you I'm lucky... I don't have a therapist right now but my family is very truthful and blunt with me, accepts no self-pity, etc, and that has really helped me progress. A year ago or even 6 months ago I never would have thought I could get this far. I still have a tremendous amount of work to accomplish, but as I've seen some progress at least now I have hope and I'm trying to hang on to that.
