“The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety. It's connection... If you are alone, you cannot escape addiction. If you are loved, you have a chance. For a 100 years we have been singing war songs about addicts. All along, we should have been singing love songs to them.” #JohannHari

We need to change our culture. Forcing someone to drink an entire bottle of liquor simply in jest or to "show loyalty" is ludicrous. My heart opens for his loved ones🙏

When you think of all the things you want to say in response to someone to prove they're wrong about you but then you realize it's unnecessary because you don't need to prove your value or worth to anyone, that's growth.

It's not a mistake or failure if there is right intention. If there is right intention, that's called practice.

@TorontoSalsa You speaking truth, man! Accepting compliments benefits both the giver and the receiver. Beautiful. 🙏

The journey of self-love is life-long and the first step isn't powerlessness, it's powerful.

You cannot #escape yourself forever but you can befriend both light and shadow parts. Just as the depth of my darkness is endless, so is the shine of my light. And there's a special sort of relief within because of that #awareness.

Sometimes I just want to give up... but then I keep pressing on.

Your own pace is the best pace for you. Do not try and compete with the timelines of others. Recovery is not a race. 😊#recovery #AddictionRecovery

[pr00f @thepr00fden]

You define your recovery and your relationship with your recovery. There are options. It may take a few tries, but find the one that suits your present path, so you always continue to choose yourself.

Since you are constantly evolving, it's good sense to check in with yourself often. I think this is what can steady your course, bring you back to center, recalibrate your compass, or even keep you from #setbacks. A #reset is not incorrect, it's necessary.

"The goal isn't to be sober... the the goal is to love yourself so much, that you don't need to drink."

Setbacks are inevitable. In meditation, get distracted? Go back to the breath. Overdo it exercising? That's called rest. It's how you take the reset that matters. Don't look at them as failures, look at them as gifts. Practice. Flex your discipline muscle. Then move forward.

"Beers and a game."

There are tasty alternatives out there! Literally right next to the PLETHORA of options in the same aisle. Choosing yourself first is a powerful choice.

@PosseRecovery About to take on step 5. I have a few more pieces of step 4 to really sort through before moving on. My opinion is that although difficult at times, every experience holds value. You got this!

@mitzraelle That's HUGE. Good for you!

Sharing stories in a safe space with others is a type of emotional release.

Hardships can create knowledge. Embracing both with an open, impermanent, and ever-evolving mindset is a game-changer. Lean in and stay curious.
