I am slowly healing in new ways - this past time was a relapse that maybe I needed.
As Lisa said, "this is just part of your journey" + that feels right.
I concentrated on Kevin last time + not myself. This time going to be different. I may go see a movie today. I don't have ADD, do I?
I've made peace with all of it — somehow. Maybe it was just time — maybe this is how you mend + heal, By giving time + walking through it.
I want to imagine a different, or rather more fulfilled life for myself. It definitely involves sobriety + making some hard concrete decisions in the next four months.
