The End Before the Start…
If I could tell my just starting recovery self one thing it would be to lean in, to listen, to not rush the process. The slow death and ultimate alchemization of my ED was filled with more lessons than any other experience I’ve had.
Why Don’t we Ask?
One of the biggest curiosities I’ve had at this stage of alchemizing addiction is, why doesn’t anybody ask how it’s going? And then I wonder, how many people aren’t being asked? Are we afraid of the answers? Afraid to inconvenience? Maybe we don’t have the time? Or maybe it’s just totally not in awareness? Or maybe something else?
