I wish something like this had existed when I first got alopecia...but even the internet wasn't around in those far off days :) It's just so great to be a part of a big community like this, from all over the world, and to know I'm not alone is invaluable. Thank you, thank you rj for all you've done for us.

As someone who is just to the point that I am willing/able to deal with what is going on with my hair, I could not agree more! I have found so much great information and support in my short time here that I only wish I had found you guys sooner.

Thanks rj, for all you have to make this a great place to talk to others.
I have found great support when I needed it.
It makes one feel not so lonely knowing this is someone to share your thoughts with.
I truly am grateful for everyone on here for helping me to have the courage to get through this trying time.
I appreciate you all in sooo many ways:)

Thank You rj, your beautifully written words touched me so very much.
When we have written you & Cheryl the words of gratitude & love come from our very souls. This site gives us with AA AT & AU the ability to not only help & support one another but for me it helped in gaining self confidence back that had been lost,gave me courage to go out ah natural, because of wisdom given to me by others, I can now look at this new woman I see in mirror & love & accept her for who she is now, this woman is stronger then she ever thought she could be.
Your creation with Cheryl has touched the lives of so many, in fact you have probably saved a few lives.
God Bless you both & this wonderful site. I truly think Devona words sum it up very well " a wonderful place for support & more" that is what you have created.

Hey rj, without this site I would not have had the courage to face daily life. I have become more out-spoken and more accepting of myself as being a person just like anyone else who have rights to be out in public. I used to avoid going out just because people used to stare and whisper. Now with confidence I have changed how I feel about myself and I can see a change in how others react towards me. It's not with pity. I have had several people come up to me and tell me how beautiful I look! Imagine that! lol Life is all good!
Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for creating this site!

Wow, thanks rj, that almost made me cry

Like Mukti said above without this site I don't think or at least I wouldn't know what would have become of me. Depression is a big thing for me and without all you wonderful caring people it would have been hard. I truly want to thank you for your site.

Hugs to each and everyone of you.
Eileen

of this great and beautiful community Alopecia World,here I discovered the true reality of it is to have alopecia, the pain inside, the difference, but I discovered that also is to be
