"Are You Sober?"
“When scenarios change and deeply ingrained truths start coming apart at the seams, the first to let go of the myth has the advantage.” - (Yongme Moon, Different, 2010)
If you’ve been on the circular “road of recovery” - lapse, relapse, “treatment”, lapse, etc. - you probably need a “cognitive detox”.
When you were weakened and vulnerable from your substance misuse, you may have been subjected to misinformation by well-meaning people but misinformed just the same. You may have been introduced to rituals and mantras which were deemed essential to your treatment at the time.
The field of addiction “treatment” has not advanced itself through the years as other branches of study. The result? Impairment! Intellectual, phycological, emotional impairment.
The following posts will be an attempt to promote hope and healing to those in active addiction while offering direction to the newly sober. Together, we’ll cut through the B.S. (Bad Science), metaphorical language, and empty rituals to recover your reality!
Physical sobriety and sober thinking are essential for a satisfying life. #addictionrecovery
