So when I finally realized
that it wasn't my fault,
what happened to me...it was
just an amazing experience,
almost like a weight lifted off of me.
And I think it was then
when I finally realized
that is when I was-I
actually started my recovery.
I had to get to that point
where I was able to say that, you know,
"No, I didn't cause this."
It was something that happened
to me by someone else,
and I'm a good person.
And I, and I think
coming to even to realize
that I'm a good person,
was just an amazing experience for me.
And that's why I think it's,
it's good for me sometimes.
Or I have no problem telling
my story about what happened.
Because every time I tell it,
I know that I'm helping someone else.
And I get to listen to myself
and my story and realize,
look how far I've come
since all that has happened.
And I've gotten remarried,
I've found a wonderful spouse.
I have a wonderful job working for the VA,
and I'm doing what I love
most is helping other people.
You know, every day.
And so it's, it's been a
wonderful journey of recovery.
