Thank you for being here for me.
I found this place, in the evening of the 18th of March, 2003. What is that, 2 years and a month? I cant believe that, because it feels like several years; several years of remembering more than just several years. It was two years filled with all of the stuff thats been swirling around in my head, forever.
Maybe some of you dont know, but Im probably the oldest member here, whos done therapy several times during the last 50 years. This time its gunna take, though, I got a therapist whos been around the mountain with a couple of us kinda guys. You know, guys, who got interfered with and then grew up thinking that it was our own fault.
Well, I hope that all of you are finally getting that, that it wasnt our fault. Being here, you must know that were not alone, right?
Im writing this, this afternoon, to say how much you all have meant to me. Ive met some pretty incredible people here, some of you who were willing to sit up all night if thats what it took to quell the demons inside of me. I hope that youll be there for those of us who may also need that kind of TLC.
Dont be afraid to give your love away here, it always comes back double fold. I will always be grateful for those of you, who were, and are, always there for those of us too weak, at the moment, to make it on our own.
After having discussed my happening recovery, my therapist thinks that my moving on is a good thing. I can tell you that it isnt without fear and trepidation. Not nearly what I felt approaching this site. So the coming was fearful and the going is with some sadness but with hope in my heart that Im winning this battle, and that youre winning yours, too.
I will miss some of you more than I can express, but my therapist has pointed out to me that I may have used this place as a distraction to finding out who I really am, and what it was that got forgotten, what it was that I wanted to do with my life, all of these many years ago.
Take care of one another, as you have me, and remember always that Ill never forget you, the men who helped me grow into the man I am, the one who can now take this important next step in my life.
May you receive the gifts of life for which you are all so deserving,
Sincerely,
David
