Sharing stories, experiences from our
past is not meant to relive the past,
because, for gosh sakes that time in
our lives was enough trauma, pain
to last a lifetime. You know what I mean?
Many of us in recovery, whether we
have been sober or clean for a number
of yrs, or those just coming into recovery,
have either found a solution to help us
heal from the past and grow healthier,
stronger from it.
Many of those just getting into recovery
have no idea that so many before them
have had traumatic past events and used
alcohol or drugs to either forget that time
in their lives or numb those thoughts or pains.
Now that they are seeking help to learn
to live life without chemicals in their bodies
that causes more harm than good, they are
also having to learn how to come to terms
of the past, accept it, learn to forgive and
move forward in a healthier, happier manner
in life.
Those just coming into recovery will now
know that they are not alone. That so many
of us who are learning to stay sober or clean,
can also realize that they are survivors today.
That they and us are stronger because of
it. We stand strong with an inner confidence
that is empowering to us.
We learn that even tho we were vunerable
to toxic people in our lives in the past or even
today that we no longer choose to accept that
kind of behavior. We now have a personal
triumph over hurt and pain.
A recovery program incorporated in my
everyday life has taught me a lot and today
I am stronger in heart, mind and soul because
of it.
You too can be mentally, emotionally,
physically as well as spiritually strong
and fit in all areas of you life because
YOU, WE, US are WINNERS / SUVIVORS.
