Hello Plutarch,
Nice to meet you..and congratulations on your revelation. Each and everyone of us who has been down this road can certainly understand the courage it takes to go down these steps..it is not easy, but you have helped me and that I don't feel so alone.

I am between the 5 & 6 steps to where acceptance is something I am slowly trying to reach...some days I think I am there and other days I feel like I am back a step but i just try to always stay positive and reading your post reminds me of where I am...and that's a good thing...thanks.
