Name some forum members that inspire you

@shutterbug, @77nick77, and @SurprisedJ are the ones that come to mind right off the bat. All 3 have done an admirable job at kicking addiction in the teeth and pressing forward with life, wherever it takes them down their respective paths.

Same for me. I really like Minnii’s positive thoughts for the day.

@shutterbug Its hard to believe he was how he described his past bieng, Doctors said he would not ever function highly.

Also he is a great inspiration for me to stay away from alcohol, something that temps me almost daily now.

I like @Minnii 's positive thoughts too, I do not know how she always finds all that material on the net.

@darksith because we have some things in common and he helps me to not feel like an outsider, @Rhubot because she is consistently supportive and encouraging, @Minnii because we share some experiences and I am encouraged to keep a balanced view, @77nick77 for his openness and vulnerability and sharp wit, @cbbrown and @crimby and others who have had non-judgemental dialogue with me, and almost everyone on here for being here with each other. :heart:ļø

You all inspire me for your own individual reasons. Even the low functioning ones. You all deserve a pat on the back and a big hug.

There is no where to begin and no where to end. I find you all so inspiring and supportive. I am truly grateful that I have found this forum, for many of you have proven that as people, we are stronger, braver, and more intelligent than anything sz/a can throw as us.

When I first was told I was suffering from psychosis, I thought I was doomed. All of you have proved me wrong many times already refueling my dwindling hope with inspiration.
A thanks to all on the forum! You are all fabulous and wonderful people.

Crimby is my peer in lifestyle and philosophy from a distance, as is necessary. 77Nick77 is my cultural peer. Chordy is my not too much older sister. I like Huck Finn for his down to earth adventurism. I like Rhubot for running the extra mile. I’ve been following Sarad since she came in on a goat track, with many things to hide or reveal. I miss Dark Sith’s being around.

Twang’s quiet voice of reason - you almost forget he’s around.

Ridgerunner, the self sufficient mountain dweller I never became. Unselfish like the nature around him.

I think that guy buttered toast, brucewillis, and darksith tie for best sense of humor.

Everyone’s struggle has been part of my motivation. I find that I realize how fortunate I am to be as capable and determined as I am when I spent a lot of time on here.

We all have compassion; we suffer together. Com means together, passion refers to the suffering we all experience.

This place is full of compassion. It makes me a little sad to have to check in once a week when I used to be on here multiple times a day.

I’m glad to hear that I inspired some. Just remember that it’s about the right life for you and only you. Even my heroes and I have big differences. I wouldn’t want anyone trying to be me, but I would encourage trying your best, which is just a part of what I do that we can all benefit from doing ourselves.

My case is treatable and my brain is actually pretty sharp. I hate to preach luck, but I am lucky to have my milieu of characteristics and my background.
