Thanks gazo.
Yeah, I guess you would call it courage. It's soooo hard to make yourself vulnerable to another person.
It was scary, it was counter to everything I ever learned to do and it was (I felt) my last chance to reach for a life that I wanted.
A very very wise person (right here on babble) once told me that there are people here that have trod this path before and know the signposts along the way. Trust that there is a way out and reach for those signposts.
Letting yourself be open with people is one of those signposts. You can do that and stay on the path which leads to recovery.
I'm in the termination phase of therapy right now and ready to begin the independent phase of my recovery where I am walking that path on my own.
You will get here with me soon.
Stay strong and stay brave.Maddie
