See that is part of what kept me coming to meetings that first 6 to 9 months. It was in meetings that I felt SAFE.
I would sit and listen and watch them cry, laugh, and smile. What absolutely FASCINATED me was that when they smiled the smile went all the way to their eyes. And when they laughed or cried, the laughter or the tears seemed to come from the very CORE of their being.
I started to realize that if it happened to them, it could happen to me. And eventually it did, as I continued to work on MY recovery.
