Right now, I'm protecting myself from myself.
If this were your best friend in the entire world =-
what would YOU advise them to do?

Because this *is* your best friend in the whole world -
you.
ANd *that* is the relationship
that you're attempting to focus on these days, right?

It really helped me in early recovery
to ask myself that question ...
knowing it was about myself.

I was amazed after a while
how much power just asking that question
and placing myself in my own best friend
position
helped me to move forward.

Maybe that'll help you?
