Battling Two Illnesses No One Could See

If others treated us the way we treat ourselves we'll be ready to kill them.- MJ Gottlieb
This is the reminder I need. I need to be kind[er] to myself. I need to show myself forgiveness and accept that I am not who I was in addiction.

I love your resilience Devri. Keep sharing your message with your online presence. You are a great example for the younger population who are struggling with addiction and for those fighting another illness. God bless you 
Great listen
I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and found myself unable to continue my alcohol due to the fact that I would be in the bathroom the whole time at the party. So I went the drug dealer, my doctor. 17 years went by and I lost a lot.
The hardest part I had was the loss of my identity of who I was before I got sick and became an opioid addict.
Today I have been fighting to stay clean for 5 years.
Today I discovered I have found my laugh. A true, genuine, sober laugh.
Sobriety is worth it.
I like how you talked about ego. How getting sick was a positive thing for you. You made me think.
Thank you for that.
Keep going hun. Your amazing
