Hey guys, Even though I'm racking up the posts, I do feel like a newbie now that I am in decision mode. Jan and all of you who post often are a great help. Just the fact that you (newbies included) take the time to read and post makes a big difference. Wisdom, encouragement, advice and support are all wonderful things to have at hand, and it is also a comfort to share with those who are going through the "beginning" of this process of learning to deal with their AN. Yes, I can see now that the AN (no matter what we decide to do with it) will always be a part of us, but I think it is perhaps best to think that it does not "define" who we are. I have bipolar disorder, and it is helpful for me to know that I am so much more than the lable. Same way with people who have diabetes, developmental disabilities, cerebal palsy, etc. Of course, we do have a "club" going on here, and we can stand together and give each other support. I guess I'll get off my soap box. Thanks all! Nancy
