I think that the time you are taking to find your balance and your own life, deciding what values are important to you, getting to know and LIKE you, just as you are...are all shining examples of recovery in action.
You don't NEED a relationship to make your life complete, it IS complete when you can find joy and peace all by yourself and just enjoy the journey. You have discovered that you alone hold the key to your happiness, no longer looking for someone to make you happy because you already are.
Healthy attracts healthy, and the more time you take to get yourself healthy and happy, the better the odds that when a relationship comes along, you will be ready and happy to connect and share your life. Note, that I say "share" because next time it won't be about losing yourself but instead sharing yourself with someone who brings as much or more to the relationship as you, and who loves you for exactly who you are.
"In-Between" is a good healing place, where we put closure on the past and prepare for the wonderful new beginnings that are just beyond our view, waiting ahead for us to show up.
Hugs and thanks for the inspiration you are to everyone here.
