With a new year, we can feel the weight of expectation. The expectation (and the hope) of getting it “right.” But our healing isn’t something to get right. It’s something that doesn’t abide by a timeline or linear step-by-step plan. https://twloha.com/blog/sobriety/

Rest. Reframe. Recoup. Do what you need to do, just don't give up.

Healing, sobriety included, can be messy. Even with our best foot forward, there may be multiple “day ones” along the journey. We like to think of it as a spiral that’s expanding outward, rather than a clean, easily digestible, straight line. https://twloha.com/blog/sobriety/

For those actively in recovery, we welcome you to another new year that doesn’t erase or negate your previous efforts. Not in the slightest. Everything you did at any point last year gets to come along. https://twloha.com/blog/sobriety/

By engaging in sober curiosity, you’re not necessarily declaring a battle with addiction or taking an oath to never do or try something again. https://twloha.com/blog/sobriety/

Don’t feel shame for where you are. Your life is not a checklist of milestones and achievements. It’s okay to be in a season that requires gentleness. It’s okay to be in a slow season of healing.

Don't be afraid to share your love and your joy with others every chance you get. The world needs your light.

Dear Me,
I know how hard it is to stop chasing approval from those around you. But feeling whole and healed inside yourself is so much more important than external validation.
Love, Future You

“To go two years without harming myself is a huge achievement, and while recognizing that, I can’t say I won’t ever harm myself again. The truth is, I know I’m just one bad day away from relapsing.” https://twloha.com/blog/two-years-since-i-last-self-harmed/

It's not too late. To ask for help, to dream, or to make change. It's never too late.

“I couldn’t stop, and I never thought I would. But here I am. Two years. The recovery has been slow. There have been urges, and there have been moments I nearly relapsed; it’s hard to break a 20-year habit.” https://twloha.com/blog/two-years-since-i-last-self-harmed/

You don't have to be perfect to be kind. You don't have to be perfect to be good. You don't have to be perfect to be enough just as you are.

“I have found that the topic of self-harm is rarely talked about, especially as an adult. It always felt like something I should have grown out of, as it’s so often associated with teenage girls.” https://twloha.com/blog/two-years-since-i-last-self-harmed/

You already know the things you “can’t” do. You’ve probably thought about them a lot. Start welcoming the thoughts of what you can do—the thoughts that affirm your strengths and capabilities.

“The best way I can describe [self-injury] is like an itch. It builds until you can’t ignore it, and you have to scratch it. In doing so, there is immediate relief, like you’ve been holding your breath and you suddenly get to exhale.” https://twloha.com/blog/two-years-since-i-last-self-harmed/

“Today marks two years since I last self-harmed. I am nearly 35 years old, and this is the longest period of time I have ever managed. I’ve gone months, even a year, without hurting myself, only to relapse and hurt myself again.” https://twloha.com/blog/two-years-since-i-last-self-harmed/

There is nothing you can do to be “worthy” of good things. You are a human, and you deserve access to all parts of the human experience—which includes goodness, love, and connection.
