WHAT an awesome topic!!!!!!!
Welcome to PC, and thank you for starting such a great thread.
I am definetly a survivor. 2 years ago I was dying inside. 2 years ago, I was sure I'd never make it to 30. I'll be 30 in less than 2 years now. And I know I'll make it.
I was on the downward spiral of alcoholic depression and that was how I found PC. At the time, I didn't realize it was alcoholism; I just thought I was depressed.
I got sober April 24, 2005 and that was when I got my life back.
Today I still battle depression, but it doesn't take me to the places it used to. May of 06, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but I maintained my sobriety, and am fighting the disease with every ounce of strength I have.
I am definetly a SURVIVOR. I love that statement. How empowering it is to say. THANK YOU for reminding me!!!!!!!!!
