When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on!

New members may not want to be bombarded with welcomes and insight. They may want to sit back and abosorb and maybe ask questions when they are ready. To me, its really about empowering a person to take control of their own path here. The survivor should have control over when he/she wants to step forward and be active as opposed to being an observer for a bit. A lot of us on here are very much into helping each other. If a newbie has a different color, I could see where they could possibly be inundated with greetings/advice/guidance when first appearing in chat.

My gf made me an awesome cup of coffee and incredible (healthy) scones so I got to have coffee and breakfast on my way to work. Oh! Can't forget the wonderfully safe feeling hug I got from her as a send off.

Yeah, might have to do that. That's a good idea.
Thanks whitedove and Karen.

I have an iPhone 4. Geez...kind of a catch 22 here. I want to get it to work so I'd like to hand it over to my son to show him what I need but then he will know what site I am on and probably get online and check it out.
Gonna have to see if I can do this one myself or if anyone else has some advice.
Thanks for the feedback Ashley-Michelle.

Hey there,
Just wondering if anyone ueses an iPhone to access chat. I know I've chatted with some people in the past who were on iPhones and I can't get mine to do it. I know I have to download a java but apparently I'm not doing it right.
Any advice?
Thank you!

Hi Ariel,
I hope you are able to find the incredible support and love that I have found. My abuse happened over various times in my life but it was one particular stressor at work that really made everything surface. There is no time clock on when we have to deal with this, but its really good that you are facing it and not running away.
Welcome to AS.

Hey Lily...great idea and if AS has the tech support, it shouldn't be too hard to do.
Nice job!

I looked at this again today... the first time I read this I was certain I was a victim ... today I am a survivor... I have come so far in just a short period of time... I hope that someday I can truly thrive.
That is fantastic!!!!!! Way to go!!!!!

From Victim To Survivor To Thriver
in Public: Pretty Good Year

Wow, it's really been a long time since I have looked at this chart. I can't believe how much over to the right I am in the Thriver column these days. When I originally posted the chart, the majority of me was in the Victim column. I still have some Survivor aspects I need to work on in order to be be considered Thriving in that category and I'm looking forward to checking back at some point.
I'm glad to read some of the comments in this thread.
