Astute observation you make about beliefs. Beliefs one maintains as "fact" can be destructively constricting and restricting, suffocating the life out of the recovery pillar of open-mindedness. And I'll add harmful to honesty and willingness as well. Beliefs distort. Far better to remain open to the possibilities. And choose for yourself what you'll accept and reject as valid or invalid as it agrees with your own sense of reason. It takes more work than blind following of any religion or program, but I'd suggest it's also more REAL and enduring in the end. That is, to the engaged, thinking mind, it is...
Good to meet you.
