Here's the thing about recovering: I'm not who I was.
And that's a good thing. Small shit doesn't overturn my world. I can gety by if someone isn't pleased with me. I know who loves me, and I know I'm one of them and that's what matters.
Yes, I've still got issues-- I might have those with me forever and ever. I'll just learn to live with them and to quiet the voices when I need to.
But things have changed. For the better.
And it's not as scary as I thought. A huge part of who I was is gone, but maybe that just leaves space for better things to grow.
