Great Job so far!!!!! Yes it is a disease and like others we can not do this alone. Support is a big key that fits right in to this door. It does take some time to balance the brain & body back. However the picture is not complete for me unless I have the mental balanced then the physical and first and the most "important" is my spiritual being. With all 3 in place no matter what it takes do do this, this is so worth it in the long run. Positive attitude will help too. BUT always know it is a WE thing not a ME thing. Hope that you are getting that outside Support. Just Be Safe and always keep your Guard Up at all times because Life can surely throw you some curve balls along the way. Good Luck on this Journey toward and upward in your Recovery.
Bless
