journey through

Declutter your life it's part of recovery. Set boundaries for those who are toxic (like my mother) and kick the ones who don't respect those boundaries out of your life! (Ahem, like family members if need be)

Omg I love this!

If you get in a wreck and total your car, break some ribs and leg bone and hit your head, you then are in despair. Time goes by and you start to heal. You have anger and anxiety. The guy driving the other car hit you. You have resentment. The insurance is slow to pay, you got more anger and resentment. Being in a car is scary, you are not sure what to do with your life. Later down the road your leg heals but it's hard to walk on. You didn't go to physical therapy. Your car can run but it's trashed. You decide I'm just not gonna drive anymore. This is equal to a person who goes to AA for the bad coffee. This is also equal to the dry addict or drunk. If you don't work the steps ( exercise the broken parts to heal properly) if you don't humble yourself and admit the problems, your not recovering. Putting the beer or dope away ( deciding not to drive anymore) doesn't make you recover. Recovery is so much more then walking away. It's a new way of life.
