1,000 posts. 374 days. Legendary member.

What does today mean to me?

A year of learning, letting go, support, care, heart, emotional ups and downs, and friendships.

I don’t pay much attention to horoscopes. Most days they are so far away from “real” it doesn’t make much sense. Today’s really hit home:

You are deeply loved and valued by your friends. For now, that is more than enough.

And, it really is.

I posted the original above in my journal this morning.

It's hard to believe I post as much as I do. Some nights I often wonder where I would be had I not discovered TTF and made it my second home. I'm pretty sure I know. But some days, like today, I still wonder.

September 27, 2009 was a night I will never forget. Nor will I ever forget, through tears and in a blind rage, discovering TTF and reading this article. Finding others who understood was ... breathtaking.

Over the year and through posting, a LOT, I learned about PA. I understood addiction, but not PA. I learned. I read. I cried. I struggled. I made it my purpose. And through all that, I also learned a lot about myself and helping others.

To me, there is no greater gift than being able to share what I have learned, to guide others back towards sanity, towards healing.

TTF is really my second home. It's my guide and my ground. And I could not ask for a better place, a better group of people, to have dedicated so much time and effort to helping me heal and to passing on what I have learned so others can find their way.

Peace to all,
~C~

Wow Cris! 1000 posts! That is awesome!
Thank you for all you do, for all you give, for leading the way!
It is a difficult journey we are on but by finding this place to support us, we can share in our grief and triumphs and really know that we are not alone. That holds an unbelievable power for us, as we can find strength and inspiration in others!
Congratulations to you Cris! You are that inspiration!

Thats a really nice post Cris, and im sure just as you feel TTF is your home, many people will see you as a a resident here, and often call in and ask for advice and support from you, and thats exactly what they get and more.

100% respect to you.
