You might have heard that I've been codiexploding all over the place, lately. Well, a dear friend in recovery heard, and has been chasing me down to hear all about it.
She let me spew all of the minute details of my codiexplosions. She listened gently and without judgement, and reminded me to be gentle with myself. She pointed out things I couldn't see. She gave me the two gifts that have become the most important in the world to me- validation and empathy.
Thanks, friend!!!!!
