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?
I would tell my best friend: "Really think about this"

and I'm still thinking.

I'm a slow responder on lots of things right now. Time has been on my side so far.

I really don't know my answer.
