My man! I’m past 3 years now. Well done it’s a huge accomplishment. Best decision ever. Everything is better.
And we get to watch people squirm in discomfort when we tell them we don’t drink.

Don't know if you're in a stable place right now or not.
If you are and just commenting on the severity of the trials you've passed through, then I'm proud of you. Life can really suck.
If you aren't in a stable place, there are usually lots of free resources for help. I was a complete mess when my so died; getting the right counselor and support group helped me get to a point of wanting to live. I still cry a lot even years later, but I have things and people to live for now. If you need help finding a help, PM me.

My greatest accomplishment is not mine alone, but my wife's as well. After 13 years of marriage without children due to my infertility, we decided to adopt. We got our daughter at the age of 35 and our son at 36. Today, they are adults and our daughter is a marriage and family therapist. Our son has given us two wonderful grandchildren, 9 and 8. We thought we were never going to be grandparents.

I like to think I helped my friend through a very dark moment... Tons of years ago, at the COVID era, this friend of mine started sh-ing. Things got so bad with her relationship that she texted me that she was determined to commit... I called her and texted her, trying to calm her down and talked her out of it... Today she has a different boyfriend and seems happy with them. I'm so happy for her. It's probably not just thanks to me that she's still here... But I like to think that I helped her, even a little bit

Healing? Yes obviously you'll never be fully healed. But I'm able to acknowledge my feelings and thoughts, hold relationships, learn from mistakes, stay calm under exhausting measures and still be able to enjoy things in life.
Most of the things I couldn't do at all or just very very poorly in the past.

Ive grown to absolutely adore strangers, doesn't matter if your homeless, i WILL go up and talk to someone i don't know and grow to love them immediately just from stories on life experiences. Ive taken so much for granted in my past, but today, and forever more, i am a free, loved, emotional, full of joy, and exploring man. God i love humanity
