    Good Morning Will,

    I am always pleased when I hear someone say they have recovered from these disorders.  So, congratulations.  What do you attribute this to?  Are you now on/ or not on meds and leading a productive life?  Docs always make us believe that drugs are the best way to manage.  When you speak publicly about this, what is the focus of your subject?  Just wondering.....

    Keep up the good work,

    I contribute this to following my doctors regimen of meds and keeping myself out of stressful circumstances that could lead to a psycotic break i am always looking for more ways to cope with different circumstances that come up in everyday life . My speeches are usually written to make people think about what they can do to help themselves and help those around them so its not a lonely journey. We need people around us to be our sounding boards without others in our lives we cant see what areas we need to work on so that we can further the recovery process and also help others in their recovery. you can email me anytime at billypnam@yahoo.com and please stay safe enjoy life and always stay in the light for too much darkness which is negativity will hurt you and those around you. God bless you and those around you so that your journey is a path less traveled.
