I'm new here as well, concentrating on step 1 even though I've done all the steps at one time or another, just not all together

You probably won't be able to make anyone understand. I have the same problem with my friends. Remember, misery loves company. So, it just makes me get stubborn and concentrate on what I need to do and not waste my energy on trying to change their mind (even though they need the program as much or more than I do).

The proof will be when I'm sane and active once again, then they will want to know what I've done, and they will wish they had listened in the first place.

It makes me sad though because I feel so amazing and I want them to feel amazing too....but some people aren't ready to be well yet.

Just hang in there and do what you need to do and let your actions speak louder than words. That's my plan anyway...for this I will definitely be selfish.
