Thank you Dave. I’m sorry you had to be on the other side of it. It was hard on my family but luckily my wife didn’t give up on me and kept pushing me to get the help I needed.

Thanks Dave. It was one of the hardest and most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had.
Thank you Tim. The program was great and I made some good friends in the process.
Thank you! This absolutely one of the friendliest place on the interwebs by far!
Thanks Ken! If my story can plant a seed in even one person’s mind that thing CAN get better it would be awesome!
Thanks KJ! Depression is no joke once you feel like you went past the point of no return. I don’t wish it upon anyone.
Good on you John for having the courage to seek help. Twelve years ago I was in a major depression and finally, out of desperation, I sought professional help. I've been in treatment since then, and generally fine.
Strong work, hermano. It's hard as hell to gather the courage to ask for help. Keep it up, but remember that life comes in waves; try not to let it knock you on your ass, but if it does, you have people around you willing to help pick you up again.
Thank you Bruce! I’m happy you were able to get yourself some help as well. It’s like stepping out of a dense fog.Good on you John for having the courage to seek help.

Thanks Rich!
Thanks Ben! I’m finally learning how to let the waves go past instead of trying to fighting against them.

Went for some top shelf gear tonight. Ended up with a bit of irritation on my neck but I think it was in part from last night’s shave. I did 3 passes and ended up DFS. I really like this knot. It holds tons of lather and releases just right for my liking. Used up the last bit of Speick and I’m thinking Skin Bracer for the next bottle to sit in the counter.
Have a good night Cadre!

Solid choice! I hope you have another bottle of Speick on order though! I don’t think I could be without it...or Skin Bracer for that matter!
I am SOOOO Happy you were able to find the help you needed. Or at least get you on the right path. I have mentioned before that I have my own demons I struggle with, and it's never easy. I think that you will find that the Cadre is here for you if you need someone to listen to you. Keep up the great work you are doing and let any of us know if you ever need anything!
In a word, depression is awful. Glad you have stepped into the light.
Its all been said. Everything fine thing in life needs a tune up now and again from the finest watch that needs servicing before it breaks down to the finest wine that needs a 1/4 turn every week, month for the decades it takes to become legendary. Its just understood. So do we. I am so glad that you found the courage to reach out and find some peace.
Stay safe...we' really are just a message away.

I can’t decide between getting another bottle of Speick or a Barber bottle Proraso Green.....
Thanks Don! It took a loooong time to find the right path. Just gotta make sure I don’t get too lost again.
