If you're anything at all like me, "she" didn't go anywhere. She's just hiding somewhere inside you where she can't get hurt again. When I exposed that "genuine me" to the mindless, irrational suffering that alcoholics dish out on a regular basis, when I threatened to expose her to that madness again, she took off and hid like an abused child.
She's not far. You just have to prove to her you aren't going to let her get hurt again. She knows what love is.
Good night's sleep, NYC. Tomorrow may dawn on a completely different you.
