I guess this is a fake it til you make it point, huh? I can relate. There are times where no matter how solid my recovery has seemed, I feel like an imposter and also like I am hanging by a thread. I find the best things for me during those times are:
Lots of time alone for quiet reflection (but only if I'm not real depressed or stuck in my head)
Reading motivational books (the non-12 step book I find most helpful in struggling times is The Secret. When I focus on the law of attraction I do find it helps)
Getting lost in one of my passions - gardening, a long hike, getting out on my kayak, a long walk with my camera.
Giving myself some time to feel the funk, but then reminding myself it is time to remember I can control how I look at things..."when we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change."
Got you in my prayers, Chris...and your daughter too. Hugs
