Things the recovery industry will not tell you:

1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.

2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.

3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.

4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.

5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.

6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.

7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)

8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.

9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.

10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

@Michele_Tafoya Trust no politician. Corrupt and filled with lies!

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@Michele_Tafoya Just another politician. Zero solutions, points out the obvious, and loves talking shit about the opposition.

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@PeteStauber You should be ashamed of yourself.

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@EricLDaugh Weird propaganda. It's all lies. Beyond comical at this point.

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@MattWalshBlog Stop being such a whiny bitch.

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@RepBoebert Why are you posting this? Complete bullshit. MSP has been smooth with no lines. Also ICE is not present at MSP. Also why the hell do you politicians lie about absolutely everything. Just cruel people I tell ya.

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@edgaralandough Bro I like your posts but let's be honest. Right now most people are living paycheck to paycheck and can hardly afford a damn loaf of bread or filling the car with gas. If your going to break it down break it down for the poor folk.

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@unusual_whales No shit. Everybody in the damn world knows this by now!

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@RepNancyMace What in the world is wrong with you? This is the unhinged you've been blabbing about for days. Come on now.

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@nickisnest @RepThomasMassie In the end it doesn't matter. He is talking about it now. Would you prefer we push this off until the next Admin takes over?

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@LeadingReport This is complete bullshit! Anyone that believes this, I pray for you.

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@GenFlynn @realDonaldTrump @POTUS There is no way you genuinely believe the words coming out of your mouth. If so I hope the truth comes to light and you see how many very bad sick individuals you defended.

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@DisrespectedThe Sounds like you live in the burbs and should probably remain out there buddy. Do us all a favor! Happy Sunday.

@DisrespectedThe FYI you might find it challenging to get food anywhere in the 612 if thats the case bud. Nearly every restaurant has this sign on it and a good portion are locked and staff opens the doors for guests as they arrive.

[Nicolai Tourville @NTourville]

@BoLoudon Like I said before. There is absolutely no way anybody could write this and believe it.
