Thats exactly it Robbie - my journey is my recovery...and it's not over yet
I know you were talking about a different kind of control 1un - control others have over you - but it really is connected....
I find the more I am in control of myself the less I can be manipulated or coerced into doing things I don't want to, or things I know are not in my best interests...
of course the flipside to that is knowing when I'm wrong and others are right - it's another kind of 'wisdom to know the difference' thing
