We really do recover one day at a time 🥹💪

A prison that Cures!

Most prisons treat people like bad animals that can't be cured of their evil. And inmates teach each other about how they can further break laws as soon as they're free. But have you ever heard of a prison in Norway called Holden, where inmates are actually cured of their mental and emotional… read more

What options are there for a partial tear?

I need to get the sonographer's report, so far the technician thinks it's a partial tear. Unless there's surgery that can perfectly align the tendon fibres without further cutting the tendon, I won't be accepting any treatment because I want to continue lifting heavy for the future. But I can't… read more

That Clean Life

Addiction is giving up everything for one thing; Recovery is giving up one thing for EVERYTHING

Tools I Use

When I went to rehab I learned the most important piece of information that I use almost every day. In the '70s a dude name Dr. Stephen Karpman found that when any argument, drama, or situation arises...someone is usually sittin' squarely on this "drama triangle". Originally designed for work… read more

Recovery from alcoholism

Lost all desire to drink. Never had a craving since.

Surgery recovery

I had a total knee replacement back in November. I could barely walk before. But now I'm struggling even more. No one warned me that physical therapy would never end. I cant get my body to do what I want it to do. It cant move like it used to. It hurts all the time. I'm so tired of being in… read more

Relationships in Recovery

I get so overwhelmed with the idea of getting close to people again.. I’ve lost so many friends to addiction it’s like I’m trying to protect myself from going through that again. Along with the fact that I feel like I don’t know how to connect with “normal” people anymore, and don’t really know… read more

I guess you gotta start somewhere

Going through a lot and haven't been working a program. I relapsed recently. I don't want this in my life. So I'm starting over. Day 1

Recovery

Todays reminder to myself is progress not perfection. Taking 3 steps forward and one step back is still progress and worth celebrating!

Sober today.

Sobriety is a daily battle but worth it. If you asked me 3 years ago if I would be here I'd most definitely not be. I took my life back into my hands I changed my life around. I went to rehab after (Telling myself) I wasn't an addict for year's. I got 30 days clean in rehab and stayed sober. I… (edited) read more

If anyone is in recovery please tell me about some things that you love to do now that you turned your life around. And if you're in the Philly area, def feel free to let me know of… read more

Gratitude List

Today I'm grateful for space and time. I'm grateful for the power of time, when I don't have enough or when I have too much. The ability to use time efficiently or not. The ability to look back assess and reassess. I am grateful for space in a physical and metaphorical space. The power of body… read more

Nightmares are afraid of you

I keep hearing that a thief's worst fear is to be stolen from. And it may be odd, but it also makes sense. Someone had to hurt them first in order for them to hurt others. And it's usually the same disease you've been infected with that you'd ever wind up spreading, including the mental and… read more

A good start
