A Deeply Felt Thanks

[JJ]

As I did my shot this morning I realized it was 7 years ago almost to the minute since I did it for the first time.
A whole new life.
A live I'm in love with.
Like all true loves it isn't perfect. There are things I'd change if I could. But I still embrace and rejoice in it.
I am deeply thankful for the people who guided me along the way and to my Creator because it has been a miracle beyond anything I dreamed could be.

It was here I came when I first realized that my condition had a name and I was not alone. And here I found people who understood. Who helped me hang on and move from knowing it was hopeless as old and broken as I was to finding the courage to try.

In these 7 years I have not lost the gratitude and sense of wonder in every single day.

Thank you all. You may not have realized how much it mattered but every word of support and hope and friendship brought me here. That saved my life. Very literally. So I could find and know what happiness and the joy of living are

Love to you all

Johnny

It's enough thanks to know you are happy, healthy, and living the life you dreamed of.  That is what we all seek, is it not?  I'm fortunate to be able to call you a friend, Johnny, and one of my best friends, too.

Johnny one of the wonderful things about this site is that after we are helped we are able to reach out to help others.  i know you have done that for me.  So many here stay to pass it on.
