Goldfinch- Fantastic- you should be incredibly proud of the positive changes you have made!

My story is similar but not as dramatic as yours and I know how difficult it is to make such a tremendous change, and you have overcome your challenges!

Way to go

ps- I may have told you but I studied the songs of the Lesser Goldfinch for my MS degree - so many positive associations with your user name here.
