Recovery has given me the freedom to live my life outside of a judges orders or probation officers demands and restrictions. The freedom to find my cultural identity, to be a present and caring father. To have a career im passionate about. Financial stability for myself and my family. What does freedom through recovery look like for you?

For me the freedom has been from the darker side of myself. I have grown to like who I am and not have to feel terrible about all the pain I had caused people.

I love this question. Freedom to me looks like control. Understanding the control I have over my own life and my own decisions. I believe when you feel like you have no control you’re chained to the world around you and how it revolves, and if you’re in that mindset you’re a victim to it. Granted there are things that happen beyond our control, but control lies in our response, interpretation and internalization.
