Hello! It's been a long time...

[CJ8258]

You can call me CJ

I was a member here about 10 years ago. I can hardly believe it's been so long! Being in this community so long ago really helped me feel less alone and gave me the strength to get help. So thank you to this site for being a big part of my recovery! Lately I've been looking at how far I've come and wondering what I can do to help others who are struggling. So I wanted to come back with my story, thoughts, experience and unending supply of virtual hugs to tell everyone that no matter how bad it is now, it WILL get better and I will be here to listen any time!

Next on my list - Sharing my story. 

Hugs!

Welcome back, @CJ8258!!!

If you had an account 10 years ago that you'd like to 'bring back,' please shoot me a PM.   I'm happy to help you to reconnect with that account, especially if you've already got an established screen name and post count. 😉 

All the best,

Capulet

Hi CJ

Welcome back to AS. It's always nice to see returning members (even if it is before me), as it gives the site a sense of history. Most of us now have grown from the foundation left by prior members. I've always felt safe and accepted here, so I think it is in part of older members such as you...and we return the favor to you now. You are safe and accepted and I glad you feel you are in a place where you can give much back. Remember tho, if you need it, we are supportive of you, too!

Once again, welcome back. I wish you continued positivity as you continue to grow and move forward in all that you do.

Mary

BACK!
