I just started doing some groups for the NPD and hypomania about 4 weeks ago. Something just was not right and my therapist and family felt I needed more help.
In my process so far, it seems recovery from drugs and alcohol were just a piece of the puzzle. I still attend 12 step meetings and maintain a decent life. But it could have easily went sour. I continue to try to get better, and have yet to find a good enough excuse to give up.
