Writers Choice: I didn’t think this piece was particularly important until a week after I posted it and started thinking about where my life might be if I hadn’t decided to join. Once you get comfortable with a group, it’s easy to overlook the really special things that are unique to it and how it fills a place that nothing else would. I was driven to membership through desperate pain and the need for information to empower myself to get the care I needed. As I mentioned in my Reflection Letter, I don’t like to make my life public record and was very reluctant to continue with this class after seeing how publicly our writing would be reviewed. It didn’t even occur to me that the CP group was basically the same scenario when I first showed up there and my life had benefited from it so much. I don’t know if this represents my best work but if I hadn’t written it and decided just stick with 101D to see what happened, I might have decided to drop it and I wouldn’t have had any growth, accomplishments, or increased ability.
