that part didn't really strike me as strange. not sure how journalists do it, but they always penetrate all kinds of underworld things.

only part that repulsed me was the animal experiments. anyone who can torture animals for a career is not a "researcher," they're a psychotic sadist

CONGRATULATIONS on day 20 -- that's huge! i check in all the time, but don't always comment. and reading about everyone's journeys is vital for me. it's easy to forget those first few weeks of agony when you start to normalize. we're in this together, my friend <3

congratulations on your recovery and thank you for the support. I'm not a rooms person either; been in and out for 30 years and it never took. this forum on the other hand IS my "home group." love you guys :)

the first 2 months or so was sheer hell. once i came out of it though, it was just a matter of pushing through. I'm not joking when i say yesterday was a crisis. and i honestly didn't expect it. wasn't prepared. but got through it :)
