All,
I've repeatedly shared how my recovery 15 odd years ago now, has brought on, to my surprise, an essense of freedom and happinesss that was much desired, while wholly unexpected. I sense that to many folks here, I appear to be monstrous, like having 3 heads or extra arms or legs hanging out, when I mention my successful recovery.
I didn't ever need or use "meds'. My Dad did, nearly 50 years ago. I never was in therapy, although I've witnessed therapy going on, and again, my Dad did, many years ago. I was involved in crisis intervention in the early 70's where I do claim to have responsibly intervened and saved the lives of 4 attempted suicides in "real time"! This has left me wanting to do my part on behalf of teens who are prone to SI and suicide. Teen suicide is so unnecessary and wastes an un-acknowledged life.
Also, I'm not some missionary prositalizing about some mystical magical miracle experience that all MUST witness to believe. I am here humbly relating that the process that was very natural for me and others I know, took me toooo d**n long. I'm offering the process for scrutiny and suggestions as to how to make it work better, and work sooner, for y'alls or anybody.
So, what would you like me to post here at "Social"? RSVP
Rod
