Hi-I'm new here
by had_enough inim new to this (or any) board and id like to introduce myself.
ive been visiting this and h2o for about a month now, and it has been so therapeutic for me.
ive been inactive for about 2 years except for memorial and assemblies and those have only been for my siblings sake to help care for an aging parent.. i decided to join in and introduce myself because yesterday i read ozzies great post on restrictions on march 23 pm and got so worked up by past memories of my experience with dfing and going through the humiliation of qualifying for reinstatement.

i haven't been attending the meetings much lately, nor done any witnessing, and to be honest i don't miss it.
