Am I crazy or more screwed up?
Permalink  

This morning I was reading about how family can perceive our positive changes in recovery.  The article I read was called:  My Family Thinks I'm a Little Crazy.

I have 14 years in alanon and coming up on 2 in ACA/Dysfunctional Families.  I was thinking about all the positive changes recovery has given me--improved self-esteem, belief in myself, better coping skills, ability to say "no." And these are just a few.  And my spouse told me several years ago that alanon has "ruined" me.  I laugh every time I think of this.  And I don't accept others' opinions of me anymore.  I'll decide if I'm crazy or ruined or better and guess what, I'm better.  Way better.  Grateful member always.  :)
