My contribution: My health has improved greatly and I'm feeling better than I have in years. Also look at this stupid bird, how can you look at that unsettling face and not feel joy? He's so happy to be a freak. I love him.

No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

Damn that must have taken a lot of willpower.
Thanks. It's a popular misconception that recovery is all about willpower when it's really not, when you try and white knuckle it you generally end up relapsing. A healthier approach is recognizing your triggers and trying to remove them as much as possible from your life, I found that works best. I still have my main trigger to deal with though and that's my dad but in the interim I can try and reduce the harm as much as possible.
Oh totally. There's a ton of factors at play for sure.
