One of the most challenging lessons to learn in the journey of recovery from addiction and alcoholism is this: “What you are not changing, you are choosing.”
Recovery isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. By seeking diverse perspectives, trusting your intuition, and embracing the lessons in your mistakes, you can create a life that’s not only sober but deeply fulfilling. The path may not always be clear, but it will always be yours.
Forgiveness can feel impossible, especially when the weight of addiction and past wrongs bears down on us. Yet, in my own journey to sobriety, moments of forgiveness have become pivotal milestones, lifting burdens and creating space for healing.
Recovery isn’t just about removing negatives; it’s about adding positives. The more reasons you have to stay sober, the less appealing drinking becomes.
The stigma around addiction silences many people in recovery. We fear judgment, rejection, or professional consequences. But what if sharing your story could inspire hope, change lives, and dismantle stigma one conversation at a time?
The comfort zone feels predictable and safe, but it’s often where dreams go to die. In recovery, many people fall into routines that feel “comfortable” but don’t challenge or excite them.
Dry January has become a popular way to start the new year with healthier intentions. But is it a good idea for everyone?
I recently reflected on the many missteps I’ve made throughout my sobriety journey, thinking about what I would tell my younger self if I could go back. While I can’t rewrite my past, I can share those lessons with you so you can avoid some of the same pitfalls.
Limiting self-beliefs are the invisible chains that keep us stuck in the past, especially in recovery. These beliefs, often planted by others or by our own past mistakes, can hold us back from living the fulfilling life we deserve.
When we think of relapse triggers, we often focus on external factors—being around alcohol, peer pressure, or stressful environments. While these are important to address, the biggest dangers often lurk within us.
