How Did you guys give yourself a new sober identity
Ive been under infuence of substance for most of my youth (14-30 yrs).
Now Ive been sober for a few years but I still havent found a sense of
identity. I just dont know who I am.
There are all sorts of external activities that attribute to being ‘me’ nowadays (family, job, hobby’s etc.), but Im still looking for
this internal sense of identity that my addiction used to give me.
From buddhist perspective this sense of I is an illusion so my practise wont help haha. Still from recovery point of view I would like some
insights how to deal with this sense of ‘not being me’ aka ‘hole in my soul’.
Take care,
