[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 697085, member: 1550"] Rn, I like being a realist (dealing in only known facts) because it is logical and keeps me from the devestation of false hope or the depression of feeling all is lost. With addicts, it isn't a fast or easy or straight toad so getting too excited over perceived progress or giving up after a bad stretch is not as realistic as remembering thete will be ups and doens. And it stops our mood swings too and truly we need to protect and nurture ourselves too. I learned of the ups and downs and decided to stay in neutral and not reward a few good weeks or turn away from a few bad weeks. I took in each experience and processed it. This was my way of staying sane. One look at my emaciated daughter made me think of jail and death so I told myself not to worry ahead since neither had happeNed yet. My favorite motto now is "it is what it is." [/QUOTE]
