What are the stages of recovery? Which stage are you working on? I was in the maintenance stage for a long time. I have discovered that I have suffered a relapse. I have to start over. Have you ever experienced a relapse?

I can't say I've ever been in any type of recovery. I have had issues in my life, and have done my best to deal with them on my own. I have never gone to any professional for help. I have good days and bad when it comes to my depression/ self worth issues. I am a lot better now a days. I guess I use the AA mantra of "one day at a time"

I think one sign of recovery might a general peace of mind. I know that I have not felt at peace for a long time now. I am always on edge, waiting for something bad to happen. I do realize I have to detach from the addict and take things one day at a time. But are you sure the monkey's magic wand can't fix this??? LOL
