    I joined EC one year ago today. At the time I was a mess. I did not know who to turn to. I tried to call a gay helpline and it was disconnected.:bang: I did some research and I found EC. Now its a second family to me. When I first joined I was totally in the closet and did not know what to do. Now I am out to my immediate family plus a bunch of people. Next I plan to come out to some of my close friends at work. Also I have a great bf!

    I could not do it with out you guys. Luv you all! (&&&)(&&&)

    Congratulations ,Ed! You certainly have come a long way,in a year.
    I think it's wonderful that we have a site like this one. Everyone is here for everyone else.
    While,yes,EC helped you,don't forget how many people you've helped,also.
    That's the beauty of EC. It's like "paying it forward". And,I'm proud to be a part of this great FAMILY! Congratulations! Looking forward to another year with you!

    Thanks everyone!! It means a lot to me.You guys have helped me celebrate my highs and get me out of my lows and put me back on track along the way. I can not possibly repay all the support I have gotten but I plan to help as many people as possible going forward.
