I post with the hope of helping others to achieve recovery. Because I learn best when other people share what has worked for them that is what I try to do in my posts. I have a tendency to not learn and even regress when other people tell me what to do as opposed to when they tell me what they did.
I found recovery when I put on blinders and focused on my actions and fully accepted the consequences of my actions. That is still working for me today some 16 years later. Recovery is lot more involved than that, but that was the starting point for me and forms the bedrock of my today. I went through the wringer to get to the present, but that is the only way I was going to get here, oh but what a today!!!
