metacognitive process - Self Design Recovery

One day we realize that no one is coming. Our therapist isn’t coming. Our doctor isn’t coming. Our parents aren’t coming. Our friends and co-workers aren’t coming. Our sponsor isn’t coming.

Our problems are not just substances – we are stalled at a stunted level of awareness and maturity. The tentacles reach everywhere. Thus began the project of uncovering everything.
