I have had AA for 2 years now and I'm currently in remission. Thank God! I still have some issues with small amounts of hair falling out but for the most part it all has grown back. I am a better person due to this disease because I have learned to have patience and learned to deal with everyday stress in new ways. I used to be a control freak and AA has taught me not to take everything so serius because I can't control my whole world anymore. I just have to go with the flow now and my family, friends, and coworkers have definately seen a real change in me. I'm not saying that I'm 100% happy all the time now. I still have good days and bad ones like everyone else. I have just learned to accept what I can't change and live life to the fullest with what God has given me... until the next time it all falls out.

hEY!!! I noticed you do not live to far from Nashville and I just wanted to stop by and tell you I am hosting a Links for Locks tournament here in the Nashville Area Friday Sept 19th and would love if you could make it!!! There are some people coming up from GA and down from KY !!! Would be awesome if you could come. It starts at 1:30 in the afternoon. Let me know if you would like some info. I am in need of golfers and maybe a few more sponsors ... if you have any connections or know of anyone who would like to play please let me know :) thanks
Hi Reba! We sound just alike- I used to have a Type A personality really bad too and when the hair started falling out I was looking for the nearest glue bottle to 'fix' it. LOL
