Oh I am so happy to hear that! My son also craved sushi. These groups help her to take on what is referred to as a "collective value system" becuase right now she is learning to rebuild her own value system and really needs the guidance of the group to help her do that.

It takes awhile for her to get herself back, with love and responsibility for self, but also it will take you awhile as well. Try and have something good to say about your life to her. I know that is so hard as for so long your life was caught up in hers, but they need to hear that you are doing well too.

Good luck today, my heart is with you. You must be so happy at this point. I remember when I could actually take an entire breath in without wanting to hyperventilate. In actuality I think it took me longer to get myself back then it did my son. After all he was engaged in all these structural environments where he was learning to build his own structure. I did not have that, only the constant daily advice of someone high in NA who helped me learn that letting go of him was the only way to let him heal, and that part of his healing, included mine.

So many hugs going with you today, for you and your lovely maturing adult child!
Great to hear this.
Just so happy for you.
Love annie
