Dear Dr. Laura,
I am 18 years old and am currently reading your book "10 Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives". For 3 years, I was caught up in a stupid attachment to a guy. Because of this I suffered several suicide attempts. I was extremely depressed and found myself giving him all of my self-esteem and self-worth. I was too fearful to leave the situation.
But that freaking first chapter of your book motivated me to break off this stupid attachment to him and create goals for myself. I am no longer taking anti-depressant meds, I am starting college in the fall on a full 4 year tuition scholarship, and I am learning to work hard and actually earn my self-esteem. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for you. I have changed the way I see myself and my future. I am finally beginning to prioritize myself, my goals, my dreams, and my accomplishments.
Thank you so much Dr. Laura. You literally saved my life and I'm so happy you have continued to pursue the work you do!
Lots of love,
Alexis
