So much of what you share here resonates with me. It struck me when you acknowledged that we who have entered recovery have chosen to face something in ourselves. I really do think that sets us apart. That it takes a certain rare kind of unnameable quality to be able to admit that we have a problem and then to do something about it, shedding blame and taking ownership. For me, it makes interactions with people unfamiliar with recovery a bit "off" in ways I am struggling to figure out. Thank you for being so open and honest. I also like how you ended with a willingness to not know for now, just keep going. That's how I feel, too. :)
