For the first 4-5 months of my sobriety I was drowning in shame and guilt for everything I did to people. I had myself in a jail cell. Like I needed to be punished. But I have been working so hard in therapy to figure out what I have been running from. Going all the way back to 2020, I was running from a lot of pain. On top of that there was a lot of self inflicted trauma. But being almost 7 months sober, I feel like I’m turning a corner. I feel like I just have a different perspective. In 7 months I’ve gotten through things I told myself I couldn’t handle. I’ve made it this far so its pointless to go back to using. Idk I just wanted to share my viewpoint right now

Our internal cell is harder to escape from than any cell the justice system can put you in. The mental health and emotional health that we destroy ourselves with is way more than any other being can inflict on you. We must spiritually find ourselves before we can begin to heal emotionally.
