Lily,
Thanks for helping to spread the gospel of Jenni to others who are suffering with, and recovering from, that destructive relationship with "Ed."

Since we are playing with "D's" here, I can offer another 3-D bit of wisdom:
Decision turns Desperation into Determination. One thing that Jenni and I both teach (harp on) is that recovery ultimately comes down to our willingness to accept full responsibility for ourselves. "

Thanks again.

*************************
Such a simple, powerful truth that Thom is sharing with us! Recovery really comes down to that. There is no secret to recovery. It is in all of the small steps we take everyday, the help we accept and receive, the healthy behaviors we learn, all of the unhealthy behaviors we leave behind...they are all small choices, that together, over time, can add up to recovery. We have to choose it, take responsibility for ourselves and say YES to a healthy life.
