Betty said "compare = despair.". I thought that was so wise because before recovery I compared myself to everyone and always saw myself as a failure.  I've learned to compare myself with myself, and looking back, I see positive change.  No matter what anyone else is doing, it doesn't pertain to me.  What a relief!
