"Recovery is a process. It is a gradual process, a healing process, and a spiritual process -- a journey rather than a destination."Just as codependency takes on a life of its own and is progressive, so recovery progresses. One thing leads to another and things -- as well as us -- get better."We can relax, do our part, and let the rest happen.""We should learn not to grow impatient with the slow healing process of time. We should discipline ourselves to recognize that there are many steps to be taken along the highway leading from sorrow to renewed serenity ... We should anticipate these stages inour emotional cohvalescence: unbearable pain, poignant grief, empty days, resistance to consolation, disinteredness in life, gradually giving way ... tothe new weaving of a pattern of action and the acceptance of the irresistable challenge of life. | ||||||
