I thought I would take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone at No Panic. Firstly for the recovery group which I feel gave me my life back. That may sound dramatic but I’m now able to go out alone and even think nothing of walking into town on a Saturday afternoon and treating myself to coffee in the local café where I am now on very friendly terms with all the staff. Considering that only 5 years ago I was unable to get dressed, answer the door or answer the phone let alone get to know strangers I feel my recovery has been quite remarkable.
Secondly, I want to thank No Panic for training me as a help-liner. For the first time I feel I’m doing something worthwhile with my life and it’s something I wanted to do not something I’ve done to please someone else. I’m looking forward to completing my first 6 months so that I can train as a telephone recovery group leader.
