We all have that friend who we think is just the bomb but who struggles with believing she is as great as we know her to be. We wish that she could see herself the way that we see her.
That she would understand how important she is to the whole of our recovery community, how she brings something special and uniquely hers to the table. Her wit, her commitment, her realness.
One of her superpowers is being transparent about how she feels about things, good or bad. She judges herself harshly for that sometimes, rather than viewing it as a badge of authenticity.
Her generosity and willingness to serve and support the women recovering around her know no bounds, and we are all grateful for that and benefit because of it. We see her work so hard to support each member of her family, and we see that it tires her.
But she's unstoppable when it comes to helping others. We wish that she could give herself the same level of care she provides to others, all the time.
