Meant to say this earlier. I don't know about you, but my life was falling apart slowly, in small amounts, and had been for years before I sought recovery. Granted, it wasn't in large bouts or life-changing experiences, but rather in little ways which have in turn played a huge part in what my life is today. So instead of being co-dependent, seeking isolation, being angry/irritable, overreacting, taking myself SO seriously, I decided to go through the pain because I realized that all of those characteristics would continue to haunt me if I didn't take any action.
