I can't wait to get to know you! Hopefully you find that AS is as amazing as I find it.

Hey Berni, I'm glad you joined AS! You should find a great support system here.

I'm glad to hear you're in counseling and your husband is helping you. It's always nice to have a group of people helping you heal! It sounds like we're in almost exactly the same situation - I'm almost at 4 years since, but I've only been healing for the last 8 months or so.

Hi Erin! I'm glad you joined AS. I agree with you - it is a truly amazing support system. I hope you find your way to healing.

Welcome to AS, Katie! I'm glad you've joined us

Not specifically to me, but a friend said "if she had never drunken that night, she wouldn't have been raped." Yes, because we really know what's going to happen when you go to a party. What a shame that she didn't bring her anti-rape condom, right? All her fault, isn't it.

Today, I took a nice long nap, took my vitamins, drank a lot of water, and didn't stress out about finals. I was completely relaxed, and it was really nice
