Attachment Style: ATTACH(MENT) to me, but not too close; closer, but not that close

Gary McFarlane Episode 40

You feel insecure in close relationship with another and so the brain provides strategies to "control" the relationship, but is so unconscious that you deny you are doing any such thing.  Attachment is more accurately Detachment; yet a pining to be close to at least one other. Strange contradiction hey!

In your quest for sobriety, don't go for long strides and big leaps. Successful recovery and achieving sobriety, is more about small bite size, incremental, but progressive steps.

YOU can do this. Come on. Get up. Dust off. Get back in the fight.

Remember, one degree shift or small change in your thinking and behaviour patterns, means that in one year, the trajectory of your life will have taken you into a tangent and positive outcomes that you dreamed about and never thought to be possible.
