JUST BE YOU... recovery journey lessons

Good evening everyone,
My name is Chris and I am pleased to be here to share experiences and stories. this will assist me learn.

My first post will be about being you and how it helps in recovery. When I was starting my journey of being sober, I was trying to be alot of things that I was not. As a result, I almost always found myself relapsing back to the flour and it was devastating. I almost lost hope at one point. However, I discovered the problem was me trying to adapt personalities that were not mine. Once I became myself and started doing me, I was comfortable in my skin and self-motivated to ensure 12 years later, I am here giving a testimony, so just be you

The journey of recovery needs determination and resilience to overcome many things. I can relate your story with mine. Ensuring you are real will save you from so many things. It was a tough journey for me but once I realised what I wanted through having a purpose and it made my sobering journey easier. I have been sober for 5 years now and I can be able to advise anyone still at early stages some of the things to be tried out.
