The concept of "Better late than never" perfectly suits recovery. Yet I hear so many women express worry that it's too late and too hard for them to recover.
I agree on the latter; it can be hard to make big changes in our life, especially if we are older. But I also think that all time matters, and if we can make positive alterations in our life even for a day, week, month, or year, we should choose that.
I've seen people totally transform their lives with something they do over the course of just one day in recovery. I've seen women find such satisfaction and joy in just a year of recovery that it makes up for years and years of pain or dysfunction in their lives and the lives of their families.
If we subscribe to or embrace the concept that every single day of our life matters, then showing up for each one consciously and with our full potential will never be too late. We will be right on time.
It's never too late to choose wellness, regardless of our age or stage of life.
