Just getting started

Hi there. I am new to the program. I tried it several years back when it was on tape and never finished it. I am 32 and have struggled with dibilatating chronic depression for the last 13 yrs. As far back as I can remember I would start something (gun ho) about it and then it would get tough and then I stop it. I am praying and having faith that this time will be different. I have lost my husband of 12 yrs (together 16yrs) over this depression. I have been hospitalized 3 times this summer due to suicidal ideations. I am on my own with my 9yr old daughter for the first time of my life. That in itself is a challenge. But I am ready for the new me!
Anyone with Faith based encouragement I would love to chat with. I am not sure how to use this site.

Hey there. Well I just started myself so we can go through the program together. Just remember, you can get gung ho about it as I am, but its also a marathon race...let's try not to burn out and have fun with it. You'll be ok, God is with you every step of the way. And like one of the ladies on the CD said. We're our own safe person.

Hi to the both of you,
I just started the program for the second time as well...i didnt finish it the first time either, and have the same problem with not finishing things. Hopefully we can all get through it with some faith and determination. If either one of you would like to talk, let me know. I could really use the support. Best of luck to the both of you.
