Hello World!

[jeanybean]

Hello everyone!! I just wanted to let you all know how excited I am to join your community. Yesterday was a tearful day; I read many posts that resonated with me and reminded me of my own experience. Even joining a forum like this is a difficult acknowledgment of what happened to me, especially because I know that recovery is so painful. I have put off trying to find a place of support for years now because I knew it would mean talking through some very challenging subjects. But today is a new day and I am feeling much more hopeful and ready to go forward. I am so glad a community like this exists and I really look forward to both receiving and offering support to everyone here.

Woohoo! Stay strong everyone.

Hi jeanybean,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for your trauma, but as you probably saw as you looked around yesterday, this is a very supportive site. I'm glad to see that you are so enthusiastic. It is a hard thing to acknowledge trauma, I agree, but it is easier to move forward with supportive and understanding people. I wish you well on your continuing healing journey.

Mary
