Recounting my ups and downs in recovery, after years lost to mental illness and addiction.
When rumors spread that you have relapsed because a visitor saw white powder on a kitchen weight at your house.

I had been baking bread… it was actually flour.

Oh well, tells me I’ve got a long way to go before the trust is regained.

If you need motivation to start eating healthy and exercising; It makes you better at video games. Increased reaction speed and brain power is super neat 💪🏻

Where and when do you use your party clothes when you have stopped partying and are broke? Serious inquiry.

I’m chewing nicotine gum like my life depended on it. Which it kinda does when I think about it…

On the topic of letting things go: 12 garbage bags with clothes, 1 with shoes, 4 cardboard boxes with books, GONE. Less things = less mind clutter

Quickly realizing that using was never about feeling good. Because now that I’m exercising, eating healthy, sleeping good, I feel great! And I’m like,, this isn’t right? Where’s the suffering? What am I supposed to do with this energy? Like do more stuff? But my couch will get lonley 🥺

At this point I’m pretty sure not even death will stop the Duolingo notifications.

In wanting everything, I ended up with nothing.

I have realized that I have bigger problems with letting things go than I thought. I have saved up so many memories, people, pictures, clothes, books, traumas, bookmarks, letters... Maybe keeping everything is what's keeping my stuck in the past. How do you let go?

Going through old photos in active addiction and i'm cringing so hard. The shame. THE SHAME.

Metanoia (from the Greek μετάνοια, metanoia, "changing one's mind")

William James used the term metanoia to refer to a fundamental and stable change in an individual's life-orientation.

Steps for recovery:
Throw away the mirror, throw away the grinder, throw away the shot glasses.
And most importantly:
Throw away the boyfriend.

You would think withdrawals, or distancing yourself from all your addict friends, would be the worst you got to do in recovery. But no, it's going through your saved pictures on Snapchat.... #addiction #recovery #mentalhealth
