I suspect our commitment to self-care and self-love may be a lifetime one. We may always need to pay attention to our attitudes, behaviors, and emotions. Regularly investing time and energy in our recovery programs is a good way to do that.

Does that mean we have to go to meetings or groups all our lives? No. I think it means we’ll want to. ~ Beattie, Melody. Beyond Codependency: And Getting Better All the Time (p. 225). Hazelden Publishing. Kindle Edition.

Are you committed to your Higher Power
and to working and living the Steps and Traditions?
Do you see it as your current focus
or as a lifelong commitment? Do you go to meeting
and stay in touch with Recovering people
because you have to or because you want to?
How is that choice working out for you?
