Just remember it will be out there for everyone and anyone to read. I don't know if they're all made up the same way but I know people can comment back to you, sign a guestbook and post things, too.

I had just started one (basically to see if I thought I would like to do one). But I changed my mind when I discovered how readily available and accessible blogs are. I have a website that I originally started about a year ago to tell my story and track my current progress in recovery. That's more private and not as available as a blog and is not listed in directories so unless you stumble on it or are given the address, only I know it's there and access it. You might want to think about that.

There are plenty of free services out there (I use freewebs for my website, a voy one for a recovery board site and a free blogs one). Let me know if you need any help getting started whichever one you choose to do.

I'm with you on the writing...I write (type)all the time and it helps me get my thoughts and feelings down so I can tackle them and confront them so much better.
