It's too easy to think that treatment is all-or-nothing. Loving the new layout as well by the way - very classy :) BTC Hi, this is a great post – “touch up” treatment can be useful for all the issues that take us in to therapy but particularly the ones you discuss in your blog.

I can't believe I kept the old one for so long. Lola, I like your analogy to the wall and the paint. Now you have me thinking about houses with fire damage (I have watched way too much of the Home & Garden channel lately). But with fire damage, you can go to just repaint the wall... only to realize that the whole wall underneath needs to be replaced. (hopefully this is not the case with anyone's recovery!) I know a lot of people (myself included) who are very jaded and disenchanted with the recovery process. I have to wonder though... would this be different if you could put together any kind of support or treatment? I think a lot of the frustration is with traditional treatment -- therapy, meal plans, groups, etc. I believe that you have all the tools... but what external something would it take to get where you want to be? What would be ideal? Thanks for all the compliments on the new design! I can’t believe I kept the old one for so long.

That’s what I’m rooting for.

When you have to totally strip down the wall and start again entirely. But then what if even that doesn't work? and you realise that the problem is neither paint nor technique, its the wall, it just cannot be painted. I'm not sure, if there comes a point where we have relapsed and recovered so many times, is anything aside from a frontal lobotomy or a time machine actually going to help? I've just lost interest in therapy altogether now. I have all the tools to get better, its the motivation which has up until now been lacking. All the refresher courses and soul searching in the world can't fix someone externally. I think we just have to hope that enough of the common sense has snuck through, and set up camp without us knowing. Maybe I am just on a mission to prove that it can be done, that treatment is not the only way.
