Kudos To Forest

Thank you for the kind words. It is great to hear that this site and community has been helpful to you. As a Peer Network, though, the success of this site is really due to all of the wonderful people who are part of it. Posters like yourself, Eric, Walt, Lala, Leslie, Beach-Girl, Shanshu Vampyre, LivvyGurl, Quasar, sewmuch, Back 2-it , and everyone else really make it a wonderful place for people.

There are also a bunch of other people that have helped make this site, and organization what it is today. Peg started up the Q&A with an Expert program, which has since then been managed by Enrique. Hilary, Panda, and Andrew helped out a ton in writing and developing our initial wiki pages, and Jan was extraordinary in leading the transition to the new site.

Rinkey was the sole reason the Thank You, Dr. Sarno project was successful, and Matthew does a terrific job at managing the drop-in chat. The moderators (MorComm, Panda, Jan, Veronica, Pranav, Avi, and Jilly) are also huge in how successful that has become. And, of course, all the other members of the Leadership Team (Ollin, Lori, DavinaMarie, Sienna, yb44, Susan, Sandy, Brian) who do a wonderful job providing leadership and guidance.

Lastly and perhaps most importantly, are the people who take the time to come back and share their wisdom and support on our forum, to help others in the support forum and as they go through the steps of our structured educational program. You know who you are. Without judgment but with plenty of compassion, you provide help and invaluable guidance to people who are just starting out. This, I think, is the true heart of our Peer Network.

When I see all of these terrific people willing to volunteer their time and energy to help build this organization, I am truly touched. These are people who choose to stick around after they have recovered, so they can serve others. I am grateful for them everyday.
