Real Life is Much More Satisfying

A popular old-time member of GYE who had been posting on our forum for over a year and was unable to succeed in reaching 90 days clean, finally left the forum in despair and basically seemed to have given up hope. After not hearing from him in almost a year, he finally posted again on the forum today, and I think we can all learn a lot from his post:

GYE Corp. Wednesday, 11 January 2012
Part 2/2 (to see other parts of the article, click on the pages at the bottom)

We asked him to share what had helped him the most, and this is what he replied:

Well, medication has leveled the playing field for me to grant me the feeling of a fair choice instead of waking up feeling absolutely compelled to act out. Also, I'm seeing a new therapist now (for about 4 months).

Even though GYE might not have been the LAST step that got me to this point, this site definitely boosted me and guided me. You all taught me never to give up. To keep on trying different things until I find what works for me. I also followed your guide book's progressive steps (site, therapy, medication). Also the friends I've met here have really helped me in times of crisis (one person in particular who'll remain unmentioned probably saved my life twice; a real shaliyach from Hashem).

Life is us putting together our puzzle. Hashem knows what the final picture looks like and we don't. Our job is to find the correct pieces and put them together. I don't think I could have gone to the therapist I'm going to, or considered taking the medication I need to balance myself if I hadn't joined GYE. GYE is a very important piece of my life's puzzle. Thank you.
