I've been seeing JADE lately

It describes what we do when we try and leave our recovery aside when dealing with the addict: Justify, Argue, Defend, Explain

Another one for FEAR was Frantic Efforts to Appear Recovered. I got that one. It is when I put my ego in front of my recovery so I try and prove I'm really good When I am not. Recovery goes all the way down. I can fake it to a newcomer but real recovery doesn't need to prove anything.

QTIP: Quit. Taking. It. Personally.

LOVE: Let. Others. Voluntarily. Evolve.

THINK is it..?: Thoughtful. Honest. Intelligent. Necessary. Kind.

I decided to collect these so I keep them on a list. I hope to do some nice art about them.

Thank you for being here
Nora
