What was your first step to recovery?

Having just read Peters thread I thought I'd start a new one to encourage new members on the road to their recovery. I found that first bit of recovery strangely odd, I was very frightened to let go of my anxiety, as though it had become who I was. Now its manageable it's such a relief!

Recovery comes in very small steps, celebrate each one, add them together & be proud of your achievements!

Hi Rosie,

I am recovering. Has taken me many weeks but I am getting there. As I said once to Julie, I feel I am on a journey that I can not control, but now I feel that journey is nearing the end, though I have several months before I may have to go to court.

I feel I have been so open on this site and the reason being was because I wanted to help others who will find themselves, like me a witness to a crime. Little did I realise that just being a witness would open up other memories that were locked away from previous years events.

I have reached that stage where I do not care what anyone thinks of me. But at the same time I am glad that it was me the murderer bumped into, as from previous experiences, I was unknowingly ready for the event!
