A Years Progress
Its been about a year since I started this group and I am declaring an anniversary. This all started with my hope to find people in the same boat as myself but has grown into something much richer. I remember when it was just me posting the group and wondering what to call it. I have heard some folks object to the word Survivors as they prefer fighters instead. Believe me when I say that anyone who is a survivor is a fighter of the first order. I will never change the name of this group. The first people that joined me in this are still the most that respond to any one that needs our help so I was very fortunate to attract them at the start. We are now 60 members and considering how early Eons hid us away it is a very impressive number to me as now we have reached a level that I believe is self sustaining. There are so many people to thank for their early efforts and input I don't know where to start but you know who you are. My motives to start this group were in a way rather selfish as I wanted to communicate with anyone that was going through what I was and it seemed like a good idea to try. I now think it was the best idea I ever had as I have seen and read so much fine input and assistance from one member to another that I sometimes break out in tears that it has worked so well. God bless and keep every one of you and my only wish is to reach more people that need us as much as we need them. I was miserable when I started this group and now I am a happy and healthy man. Most of which I can thank this group for as they saw me through my dark hours. Please share with us when you are in a dark place so we can help you. There is hope by just surviving from one day to the next. I am living proof. New visitors please read the previous announcement that has to do with the rules of the group. This is a very lucky group as we have only lost one member's daughter so far and even though our hearts were broken she has not been forgotten. You have all made me proud with your spirit and strength of will. I love you all.
