But could there be a grain of truth to the idea the being a former drunk leaves us to broken for anything whole?
Recovery for me has been all about fixing that brokenness - the not drinking bit is just the little bit of the iceberg bobbing about
I've spent a lot of time consciously making healthy choices, seeing psychologists, and basically wresting with my demons.
A lot of hard work and scary stuff but the end result is I actually like myself now.
I'm not broken anymore....I'm not perfect either, but that's ok too....and when I feel good about myself? that shows...and it will attract people
You'll get there too Shelle
