The idea that we’re going to get sober and suddenly not have irrational thoughts, intense emotions or life events that make us want to quit and throw in the towel is more than foolish. So much of recovery is about perspective and acceptance. It’s better to calibrate your perspective early about things like “finally being normal” or changing the way you feel emotions over certain events. There is sanity in the process of recovery there is no perfection. Find your tribe, get vulnerable and do the work. #addiction #addictionrecovery #sobriety #vulnerability #vulnerabilityisstrength #dontgiveup
