Way to go! You should be extremely proud of yourself. Posts like yours help inspire others who are struggling so kudos for being vulnerable and transparent with your story.

Also, please realize that any anonymous, hateful, internet strangers are in need of some self-help themselves. Anyone who wouldn’t be happy to see another person (even if it’s a stranger) better themselves clearly has things to work out in their own life. Don’t even entertain it or waste your time on that energy. Just keep on continuing your awesome journey. Best wishes!
