Dude. Thank you. You nailed it. This is much needed. I remember thanking the addiction surgery to see if im in active addiction. I got almost all of them checked off out of 25 questions a few years ago.

Reading your post I got almost all of them checked of tonight.

I can see im moving in the right direction.

Last year I don’t think I could have related to any of those signs. Today I am grateful that I can check off nearly every single one. A much needed reminder that I am healing and becoming the best version of myself. 🩵
