Much of addiction recovery is focused on reflection. Reflection of past behaviors and unhealthy patterns and my recovery has been no exception. When I think about how much time I wasted engaging in my addictive behaviors, it literally makes me cringe. Years upon years wasted on trying to get men to love me or pay attention to me. I spent so much time focusing on what they wanted, thought, needed, or felt. The problem was that I never concentrated on what I wanted, thought, needed, or felt. So here I am, almost 40 years old, getting to know who Lisa truly is for the very first time. And I can honestly say that I am happy and content with this and I will continue to trust in the recovery process. One day at a time.
