So i got this absolutely amazing idea from a friend that I'm going to introduce into my blog this month. She pointed out that she thought my blog was great but its missing that everyone enters recovery from their addictions differently. She wanted to share her story on how she faced her monsters of addiction head on and won. Now how she faces her recovery and how she continues to win and stay sober. Also she recommended getting other peoples addiction and recovery stories to share. I seriously can't wait to share all the stories from others and hear how they did it! The inspiration its going to give me and many others is phenomenal to think about. Not only that but to see the similarity's in our stories and the differences. But my main key point i want to focus on is how everyone accomplished so many things we all thought wasn't possible. How so many people thought we'd just be a bunch of nothings for the rest of our days. To show other addicts whether still actively using or a newcomer to sobriety that anything is truly possible if we set our minds to it. Someone once told me if we only chase our recovery like we chased the dope man we'd all be millionaires. Well many people fail to realize that there are hundreds if not thousands of us out there doing just that. We may not be millionaires with lots of money but we're millionaires in a different way. With something money can't buy, all the love and motivation in the world is what we're rich at. Just think not only are we chasing our recovery, we're running with it every single day! Striving, making it a mission not just a goal to make a difference in not only our life but others. That is what were rich with. Service to ourselves and others.
Now anyone who is a recovering addict or knows someone who is and would like to make a difference in someones recovery by sharing yours or their story get a hold of me by commenting below or finding me on Facebook. For every story we share we are making a difference in someones life without even realizing it. The more we share, the more were helping others stay sober. Its time for us to remove that stigma of being ashamed of being an addict and embrace it! Show others your proud of your scars and where you came from. Your proud of who are today. That your greatest struggle became your greatest triumph!
Thank you all so much and god bless! <3
