It is sooooo good to hear how you are doing. Yes, it is one day at a time, and yes, it has to be something you do for yourself - but this post sounds so much more at peace than your last. And that is a victory you can be proud of. You've certainly worked hard enough for it.

Whether you come back more actively to LJ or not, I'm not alone in wanting all the best for you, and hopefully you can keep us up to date occasionally with how you are doing.

Congratulations sweetie... *hugs*

This is a huge deal! I'm so glad that you know you've achieved something major in your life and that you are seeing the changes in yourself, all for a positive better. That you are also finding courage to use your powerful voice to share your experience with others is a thing of grace and beauty. Many hugs and well wishes for your continued recovery.
