And so as I am still kind of doing the spiral dynamics of recovery of, trying to move forward, but, you know, sometimes having relapsed or where things, take what feels like a backwards slide, and knowing that that movement backwards does have the opportunity if I care for those places of harm and of relapse and of hurt to myself and others, and if I bless it with curiosity, it has the, potential to propel me even further forward, rather than being stuck in that place.
