I go throught this in a different way with my mom. The stress, the obsessing.
But, I am learning and I have come a very long way.
You're so right Elana, that recovery is not a cure. It's a lifelong journey into ourselves that, when we work at it, we become better people, and more able to enjoy life. Little by little and inch by inch things improve over time. Recovery means a lot of things, but for me, its recognizing when I am obsessing, and stopping it in it's tracks.
Oh, I love your signature. I am always telling people to vote!!
