The struggle builds character

Last year, on September 13th 2022 I began my sober journey. Unfortunately due to the stress and frustration it took a toll on my body for me to relapse.
If only someone would have told me its just the narcotics leaving my body and freaking out.
Thankfully now, I have my psychiatrist to help balance my chemicals.

I wish could go back in time to that moment. when I wanted to get high & forget the world. I would’ve told myself you’re going to regret it. Plus your body is going to hate you for this.

So I kept relapsing over and over and over again. What brought me back to life?
Is my hope and dreams I have for myself. Also I hate looking in the mirror, and seeing myself decaying.

When you constantly relapse like I do. You start noticing the triggers and you start noticing the booby traps.

My best advice for you guys is keep on being positive! Try not to be so hard on yourself. We’ve been through so much trauma with the drugs and alcohol. let’s start taking care of our mental health, physical health, and what we put in our bodies.

Stay away from negative people. Sometimes it’s good to be alone and write your thoughts on paper.

Stay active get a gym membership or invest in a bike and explore your city.

Stay away from fast food, your liver well thank you. What helps me on my diet is sticking to a Mediterranean. Juices and smoothies help flush out the toxins a little quicker.

Don’t give up on yourself!
