When addiction hit, it hit like a locomotive. When I entered recovery, it felt like I was pulling a train uphill. I thought to myself many times “what’s the point” and that “things would never change”. I would look at people with years and decades in recovery and believed that my life and mind would always be a slave to addiction until… they were not. To anyone struggling in their recovery, know that with consistency and the right perspective, your life will literally transform itself, however you will always lose at this waiting game.

We always hear that recovery is a journey not an event. Me 5 years ago would be defeated at the thought of this long-term struggle, but this mentality is what always led to me returning home to my rock bottom. In this video I share some things that would have been helpful for me when crossing the bridge from addiction to recovery, take from it what you can and take control of your life friends.
