Wonderful revelation.
Early in my recovery it did feel like a “fight” or tug-of-war with my AV. But once the AV was quieted, I started to see changes in my health. ability to manage anxiety, in motivation, in intellect, memory, finances…. everything… the positives were so overwhelmingly positive that I shifted my mindset much in the way you did. It’s a great and very freeing feeling. Congratulations
