Those of us who live with concurrent disorders can burn down too many bridges. The sad thing is that we can do this while living in one day at a time recovery. This is the result of it’s about me. It’s the result of you need to listen to me. It’s the result of I am important. If we don’t, won’t, or can’t step away from this mindset we will start to burn down too many bridges. People do this. My hope is that we don’t have to. It can be it’s about me. Someone should listen. And yes we are important. It’s just that most people can’t give us this assurance. People need training to help us. Accept that. I hope I can stop burning down too many bridges. I don’t know if I have the empathy. I’m learning. One day at a time.
