SLS,
These are some of the healthiest posts I've seen on this board for a while.
I think your implicit message is that beliefs about recovery (and I am strongly convinced these can be changed) play a very strong role in getting there.
The tone in your posts sounds very CBT-ish. I like it! Thanks for the reminder - I've been very lazy about this for about 2 years now. Luckily, a good part of the CBT work that I did 'stuck'.
I noticed your near-automatic countering of all-or-nothing thinking. I think the same way. No, I'm not beaming with eternal, uninterrupted bliss. Far from it. But I usually find that if I work at it, I can find enough satisfaction with things to be...err, satisfied.
Life is (now) worthwhile for me, and I have no reason to fake it.
Thanks again!
Matt
