Nike, thank you for this!
1. 6 months so still newish
2. Honestly I'm still taking one day at a time. There are days I want to use, there are days I have my codie hat on, and there are days that I feel I'm blessed from sunrise to sunset, and those are not mutually exclusive. I spend time in prayer, reading, and listening to lectures -- I still have challenges. I'm hoping that I'm learning and growing and treating others well. My biggest challenges have been in communicating with my somewhat estranged codependent FOO, parenting the 3 teens still at home, and rebuilding my life with a new circle of friends.
