Be proud of your recovery (even if at the very early stages) please brag away here... it'll keep u going. Kinda like when people start dieting and want to brag about every pound at the start... the feedback keeps them going I'm sure.

do we have any extreme recovery stories though? Maybe you've gone so far the other way and now work for a charity or have activity saved someone?

or was talked out of it / saved by someone and now have a stronger friendship or even you have now repaid them in other ways ?

or was you going to ctb due to failing exam , not getting a job / promotion , losing a job or just being too skint to make keeping going worth it. But you kept going and now have a much better job / career and more money than ever dreamed of?
Please brag away I love a good success story to remind me there can be light x

While I am currently headed towards the path towards CTB (already made peace with my decision and already have my reasons for doing so), I will share my success stories from the past, especially in 2019 (which was the year in which I could have CTB'd).

Story #1:
In 2018, I told myself, if I didn't see this person and/or this person was rude to me, then I'll regret it and won't see 2019. Luckily for me, that person came to one of the times where I cooked a meal for a group of people and she (along with her fiance) was very nice and hugged me. I decided to continue living into 2019.

Story #2:
2019 has arrived and the ladyfriend who I've known for many years but I never had the courage to see her. However, in March 2019, I decided well fuck it, I'm going to see her and see how things goes. After all, if things go sour or poorly, I can always CTB at a later date. Fortunately for me, things went well and then I managed to live on beyond May 2019, to see the 2nd half of 2019.

Story #3:
Once again, in Fall 2019, I decided that I was sick and tired of being a virgin and was going to lose my virginity in whatever (legal) way I could. So I booked a flight to Amsterdam to do the deed. I succeeded as well as explored some of the Netherlands while I was there. That allowed me to live into 2020.

One key secret towards my recovery is mentioned in the thread, which is suicidal ideation as a cope and drive for me to do things I would never have had in the first place. It also helped that I had the means to CTB reliably.
