I've been lurking on this forum for a while now, soaking up all the wisdom, courage, support and fun. I've read the book and have ordered the CDs, kudzu, and a whole heap of other supplements. Once they all get here I plan to go AF until I stop wanting Al every night (however long it takes for that to happen, perhaps it never will?).
I've not posted before because I felt I should wait till I've actually started my AF journey (until then I'm a fraud?), but I read this yesterday and wanted to share:
Don't be afraid. You needn't slay the beast nor scale the entire mountain. That's not how it's done. You only need to move through today. Think of the distance you've already covered. Focus on your strengths. Let each new step remind you of your freedom. Let every breath you take remind you of your power. Seek out friends and guides; they're anxious to help. You're not alone. You're understood. This road has been walked before. Dance life's dance, just a few steps at a time, and in the wink of an eye you will wonder to yourself, "What beast, what mountain? Was I having a dream?"
Your stories remind me that I CAN slay the beast, and that I am indeed not alone.
Look forward to "meeting" you, especially once I take the AF plunge (may take a week or two for all the stuff to arrive, as I'm in Australia).
