You guys- all of you, the sad, happy, angry, goofy,and belligerent ones. The hopeful, and confused, and helpful ones. You have been my friends , my addiction and my strength. You have given me different points of view to agree and disagree with and I have treasured them all. You helped me work through the rush of conflicting emotions and helped me to realize that I am not alone when the world seemed most empty. Your encouragement has at times kept me from going over the edge and the funny moments have had me nearly laughing myself to death. I have a supportive (non jw) family and boyfriend, but having those of you who understood has been the greatest help of all. Really if it wasn't for all of you I could not even appreciate the wonderful people in my life, but would instead be stuck in my former judgemental and paranoid world. I am a relatively new poster but have spent countless hours as a grateful lurker gaining strength to find my voice, I am no longer afraid. Thank you all
