Dear Marina,

Reading your reply put a big smile on my face! So amazing to see you are on the other side of the fence, happy and strong. It gives me comfort for my own experience as well. Things have sure changed since I wrote this topic. I’m much healthier and happier now. I’m trying to tame my mind, ego and my codependency. It’s been good thus far..

I’ll be sure to search for those books although here in Greece it’s taking a long time to ship. I’m currently reading The subtle art of not giving a f*ck and it’s a real gem. I recommend it!!!

The “I want” mantra totally helps. For me an emotionally restricted person to the wills and wants of others can be a real blessing. My other daily mantra is “The best is coming”. Because for us who have hit rock bottom, the only way is up.

Thank you so much for the reply  I wish you all the joy and I’m sending you positive vibes ❤️
