No it does not flow smoothly and I expect that now. I agree that this will be a life long process.
I welcome the day when I can look back and think "whewh, that was hard but it's over". I really really do.
The second part of this ^^^^^ is "Wow, not only was that hard but look at how much I have grown because of it"
I seen little improvements here and there in myself, but the further I get from all that crisis stuff the more I realize all those lessons I learned, all those tools are right here and I frequently pull them out in my day to day life. I am not nearly as reactive as I once was ... its been quite liberating I can tell you ... to actually be in control of MY life for a change.
