Hi,
I was in recovery for more than 6 months and did not get it.
I needed to understand when I was emotionally vulnerable and spend more time in meetings so I understand how to cope when I was vulnerable.
Do I enjoy causing myself and other people pain and suffering.
By abstaining in every way from all of my unhealthy habits gave me the ability to start to heal.
Set boundaries increased the chances of me achieving a healthy life.
Being accountable to myself is a healthy thing to do and set challenges understanding my needs my wants and my new goals.
The longer I was in to my recovery the more I got motivated towards healthy choices.
I both wanted and need to stop.
What was I going to do about it.
