The Long and Winding Road

Sometimes I feel like I take two steps forward and one step back in my recovery. Sometimes I feel like I keep making the same mistakes over and over. I can't stop controlling, I can't stop obsessing, I can't stop my codependent, insecure behaviors.

Then, inevitably I end up around someone who hasn't even discovered the source of their problems. Someone who is letting an addict upset their home and their life. Someone who doesn't even realize they have control issues and codependence. That's when I realize that while I may still have a long road ahead, I've also come a long way.
