MDJunction to me

"MD Junction has been a lifeline to me. The support and information I receive from group members is so important for me to maintain a good quality of life. I struggled with a diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency and did not know where to turn, but then I found MD and it has been one of the most important tools to help me to enjoy my life and stay as healthy as possible. We really are stronger together than we could ever be alone." (ITeach91)

Hope and Strength

Today is the first day of November, 2010. I am tired of living with this disease and plan on ending it. I realize there will be many ups and downs..but I will not quit. "NEVER QUIT TRYING TO QUIT" As long as I learn and grow along the way, I can keep my head held high...because I am not perfect. But I am strong, and I deserve this peace in my life. I am saying goodbye to this disease,it is not my friend!!!!! it is holding me back from true living, and I am angry. NO More, no more abusing myself.

O.A. First meeting

Nov 20 2010

I am so very excited!! Today, I went to an OA meeting and it was wonderful. The people were very nice, and I did not feel alone. I am looking forward to the next one. I KNOW this will be veryhelpful. One gal came up to me after the group. She was so nice...struggles with similar issues of my ED. I hope I will make some new friends here. People at the group were so honest and real. It is nice to be surrounded with people with caring ways, and good intentions for their health. Many have been recovered for many yrs. They were an inspiration. I am looking forward to the next meeting! I am doing sooo much better. MY desire to reover is very stong....more than I can remember. I plan on getting there this time....I know I will always have this disease, but I plan on living a healthy life with it on the back burner.

YAY!!!

I'm SO flippin' happy!!! Aren't tese meetings really motivating? It's sooo nice to be in a room with women who understand what you're going through. I had to go to one today, because I woke up on the wrong side. It was a location I had never been before, so I was nervous. But! The everyone immediately hugged me, and welcomed me. It's just super famazing to know I have a group now! I'm really excited for us! Things will get better!

Are you going to get a sponsor and work the steps? I just found a sponsor...and she's FAWESOME. I've already called her close to five times today. lol.
