Dear Recovering Addict...

Dear Recovering Addict,

Each day we are given is a blessing; and each moment we abstain from our drug of choice is a VICTORY! Regardless of how many times we fall on this journey; the overall goal is to keep moving towards a life of SOBRIETY. 

People will put us in a box; and many will overlook the small victories over our addictions…

Some will choose “tough love” when it comes to supporting us; but the results equals criticism and judgment.

We can not focus or let others distract us from the progress we have made; because at the end of the day we are all different, and have chosen this lifestyle for varied reasons.

Are these people better than us because they don’t have the same struggle? No! 

Do we continue the former path because our addiction/s can be an ongoing war? No!

Can someone truly change their ways? Yes!

We are not defined by the things we battle with; it is a part of our story but it does not define who we are, or who we will become!

So keep moving forward WARRIOR; as we continue to heal, and no longer let our addiction/s and others dictate the beautiful future that is awaiting  us.



Sincerely,
A Fellow Recovering Addict :)
