Well... it did take years for me to get to a point where sobriety is starting to stick.
As far as action and change, I may be wrong but being assessed for hours for a very likely learning disorder that I have lived with undiagnosed... that's no small thing to face. And I am facing that alone, IRL.
It's no small thing. I think it's a rather big issue to look in the face early in sobriety, or heck- ever. It is quite a thing to take in and I don't expect anyone who hasn't gone through it to understand. But just have some respect for what I have done, is all I ask.
Because I assure you, there is nothing soft or easy about living your life with an unaddressed, undiagnosed learning disorder, a tic disorder, anxiety disorder, trichotillomania and 2 decades worth of abuse... and then going No Contact with abusive family.
