Love Richard! I met him very early in my attempts at recovery—1997/1998 and have fond memories of him.
I reached 22 years last month and this in particular really struck me: "To have these people in my life who think of me just . . . as another person in the world living a life — very much not the way people thought of me before — I can’t imagine a gift greater than that, and that kind of puts a bow around everything I’m grateful for." <3
So many gems in this Richard Rushfield interview, particularly, “On my own, I’d let those thoughts swallow up my life, and the ‘pleasure of justified resentment’ is my greatest passion.”
