Emerging from cocoon finally!

I've done it! I started my healing journey in 2008, with the book Courage to Heal. It taught me so much and convinced me to start looking for help and helping myself. I'm finally able to look back with just a dull ache instead of gut wrenching pain. Now I'm Just working on the damage I've done with the coping mechanisms I held on to since I was a kid, avoidance, food, and denial. I've lost ten pounds which I've never done at one time before, I feel more energy, I feel more positive, and more focused than ever before. I still have a long way to go to be where I want, but I know I'll be completely out of my cocoon and flying around soon.
