Thank you, English Garden (and others who posted in response) for your honesty. I too almost died trying to save my daughter, not knowing she alone had the power to save herself....
Honesty...learning to face the truth of the situtation and dealing with it as truth even though I didn't like it is what saved me. Seeing my own defects and seeking my own recovery one day at a time is what saved me and continues to heal me every day.
I just want to say the outright honesty of many of the posts here has been a huge part of my survival and I appreciate it always....
