I am sorry that you are feeling so low of yourself right now. But you are not in that place anymore, you are not even that person anymore. The people who make us as we are, maybe they do or do not deserve any forgiveness. Us, we always deserve it of ourselves. Try to be good with yourself.

forgiving ourselves is the hardest part of healing, but it's something we have to try and do.

By coming here, saying those words, you are making the effort. Don't ever give up on yourself.

Dwayne,

I am truly sorry you needed to find a place like this, but you are most welcome. These are the greatest, most understanding guys I have ever met.

I know the feelings that you talk about when you say you despise yourself and you feel like you're a loser. I was saying those same words for months ago. I will not say that I love myself yet, but I usually tolerate me. That takes time.

One thing I can tell you for sure. You are not a loser. Because you survived. Survivors took what life threw at them, and even if we didn't make lemonade out if it, we at least kept ourselves alive long enough to get to where we are. That takes guts, courage and determination. That's why you're a winner. Because you survived. You may not believe it now, but we will believe it for you until you can take it for yourself. And then you'll just have to put up with us .

Again, welcome.

Dwayne I echo all my brothers above. This is a place of healing and strength. You will find no judgements here only concern and brotherly love and strong shoulders when you need them.

Welcome
