September is National Mental and Substance Use Disorder Month.
I’ve been in recovery from substance abuse since August 9, 1987.
The opening quote is absolute TRUTH.
For years I knew I had a problem and was slowly but surely building my own prison cell.
It took a group of people who loved me along with professional counselors to convince me the prison cell I had created was locked and I was inside without a clue on what to do. In some ways I knew I was a prisoner, but I always THOUGHT I could find freedom my own way.
You can’t think your way out of something you’ve behaved yourself into.
Addiction is a disease and requires mental, physical and spiritual treatment. Losing focus with regard to this fact is a recipe for relapse…I write from experience.
For the next 29 days my blogs will be focused on my recovery and some of the key aspects of it’s success.
If you know someone who may benefit from this journey, please forward my blogs to them.
