I'm posting this here rather than intro/leaving as I'm not really leaving:
Tomorrow I'm going to start a residential recovery programme for 6 months, run by a Christian charity. I won't have any internet access, except one weekend a month I'm allowed to come home, so I may not be around much for a while. Hopefully I'll be back and able to offer other people some of the support that I have really valued over the years.
Right now I'm incredibly scared at the prospect of it all, but I'm desperately trying to cling to what other people say about this being an amazing opportunity to really get my life back.
Thanks to all those who have supported me, read my posts, and who run the forum.....It's been a great support to me.
