I have followed this thread and re-read it many times, and I think it is brilliant and want to thank you. I recognize what you say about exposing denial and accepting the truth...to me that was the turning point in my own recovery, even though it was painful at times. But I always prefer the truth - I can deal with truth.
But I am not sure what the last part of your post means..."the cause and effect begets consequences, etc." Could you help me with this confusion because I don't want to lose you here?
