DS started Alateen/Alakid at 7 years old. It has been life changing.
Higher Power tends to work out what way brings us to what we need, with good timing. (((hugs)))
Counseling, addiction counselors, art therapy, playtime, healthy new connections and outlets for feeling all our emotions and having new ways to deal with them. Small daily actions add together to bring about great changes.
There's an ebb and flow to life. Finding ways to heal can have a very natural rhythm to it.
One day at a time.
