The reason that I don't feel much relief, even though I'm surely making progress in different ways, is because I define recovery in the wrong way. I see it as a return to something - some ideal state that has never actually existed - or as the end of any struggle. But recovery isn't like that. It doesn't come from returning. Relief comes from change and growth.
My values and perceptions need to fundamentally change, and the challenging process I'm going through is achieving that.
