Today, I will remember that there is no situation that can’t be benefited by taking care of myself. - Melody Beattie

Even recovery brings losses, more changes we must struggle to accept.

I saw people who had gotten so absorbed in other people’s problems they didn’t have time to identify or solve their own. These were people who had cared so deeply, and often destructively, about other people that they had forgotten how to care about themselves.

The lesson I was learning involved the idea that I could feel compassion for people without acting on it.
