Been at this recovery thing for quite a while now but feel as if I've been doing it all wrong somehow. I've attempted to work on it in private counseling, in group settings, at several on-line support sites - including this one a time or two.

But, I'm definitely not doing something right and keep on screwing up somehow because I feel as if I keep missing some key element that's necessary to fix all this and that until I can figure out what that is that I'm doomed to a lifetime of never becoming a whole person and if that's the case, then what's the point?

I get derailed by life so easily and each time it feels more and more hopeless!
