Lookback: 4 years into recovery

Coped with past critic's outburst in sauna

Past acquaintance called me names and said she never wanted to see me again after I ran into her at a wellness venue.

What I wish I knew
"How to handle confrontation without triggering self-harm urges."
If I could tell you one thing
"Hold genuine accountability without accepting endless punishment or allowing one person's fixed view of you to undo years of recovery."
