Just a quick howdy to a lot of old friends. It's been exactly one year
since I turned off the tinnitus world - I folded the support group and
unscubscribed from AST. Doing so has given me a lot of spare time to
pursue quieter hobbies like getting back to playing my banjo etc.
I must admit, when people call me, it makes me feel kinda crappy when
I tell them the support group is no longer exists.  Then again, not
having to think about tinnitus every day has been pretty cool
experience. A few of the calls I did answer and unfortunately, it
sounds like nothing much has changed in this area. It seems the "learn
to live with its" still rule in this part of the world - sigh :(

Tonight while glancing through a bunch of recent posts I was proud to
see a bunch of familiar names offering awesomely inspiring and
supportive advice. You know who you are - take a bow!

To the newcomers on this newsgroup: as hard as it may be to believe or
to accept for you this very day: there really is a tunnel and there
really is a bright shining light at the end of it. No ifs or buts
about it, someday you too will be there.

Here's to it be sooner than later,

Bart.
