This is a wonderful article, Joanna. When I think about relapse prevention, the slippery slope is something that needs to me in mind all the time!! As soon as I make it all about me and find I need to defend myself in my recovery, is the time for me to take another inventory. it's not about me now -- it's what I can do to help other people. I have no control over what other people might think, but I can control pretty much the thoughts I have in my mind. Thanks so much, Joanna, for your thoughtful inspiration and knowledge. warmly, Jeannie
