Hello old friends😘Haven't been "home" for months, so not sure if anyone remembers me...the village idiot!! I have been off the Crap for one year and a couple weeks, woohoo;)

I have so missed my favorite peeps, FN, TFL, Gail, Zappalta, TM, Fishinghat, DonewithCrap and a few others I have forgotten their handles:( Heck, I couldn't even log in as I forgot my initial handle of CymSik and had to put puzzles together (captcha's?) and have a long ass password emailed to me to get back on the site!

A little bit about me since I was last on the forum in January. I finally left Bildo and got me one of those senior bachelorette pads in March! Still struggling with day to day life, though I can actually count good days in greater number than bad ones! I never dreamed that was possible as I struggled far longer than I ever anticipated after cold turkeying off 60mg. Lots of changes and tales to tell, but will stagger them out over time as I still find it daunting to express and put to paper the hurricane of thoughts in my recovering brain!

Would love to hear a line or two about how ya'all are doing;) as it will take me some time searching here to catch up! I quit posting because I felt I was too Debbie Downer and whining about the negative shit that I attribute to the recovery process of C withdrawal, oy!!

Love and hugs, Rebecca<3

Oh Shady, so happy to see you. We all remember you. I have not read your post, was too excited when I saw your name. Now I will.

Crap, it's Mind Support not Word Support!

Hey Reba

No need to dig through the files-- it's like meeting a favourite school buddy after summer vacation: you just start in where you left off and the gap disappears!

It's so nice to hear your voice, and I'm delighted to learn about your personal giant leaps toward a happier future! Good work!

Welcome back! I look forward to hearing a story or two in your inimitable and refreshing style.

Take care.

Oh my sweet TM So happy to hear from you! You once said to me, relative to my totally dysfunctional marriage, "it was over long ago."
I cannot express to you how those simple words have changed so many aspects of my life<3. I repeat them often when I find myself ruminating over the woulda, coulda, shoulda's! You're simply the best
