Survivor Stories

This forum is a place where male survivors may tell their story. Individual stories are often raw and graphic, and can be triggering to some. All stories submitted must be approved, but are rarely edited. Survivors are encouraged to share only if they want to, at their own pace and at a level they feel comfortable. Threads are locked in this forum. Each story stands alone without comment - a safe space created by each survivor to share - and to have the last word.

Progress

This forum is for male survivors to make posts about areas where they are seeing progress in their recovery. Posts in this forum are locked after they are released by the moderator team so that the survivor's post stands alone as the milestone that it is. If you would like to offer support and encouragement to the poster, please send him a Conversation. If you would like to discuss your accomplishment, please feel free to post on the DB. This is one case where duplicate postings on the DB are encouraged.
