Those six weeks of treatment in 1988 opened my mind to the possibility of long-term recovery. I felt ready to embrace both losers and winners and be open-minded to what all of them had to say. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-is-better-when-were-open-minded/></div>

Relationships could be like the Kintsukuroi, where gold is used to repair damaged pottery and is considered more valuable with its brokenness but that doesn't always happen in families. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-is-repairing-each-relationship/></div>

We just have to keep looking for them. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-your-answers-are-within/></div>

Addiction forces us to present a fake appearance. We smile, when every fiber of our being is screaming in pain. We posture as friendly, when all we want to do is get our dope and leave. We pretend that we have it all together when we take our children to school or football. We show fake emotions because we are so embarrassed and frightened by our authentic ones. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-means-no-more-fake-appearances/></div>

As a female, I have been called by and answered to, many labels and descriptors. Some have vanished from our politically correct vocabulary as well they should have; others, however, have cropped up and taken their place, only to be disparaged enough that they are now uttered by the truly brave or truly ignorant.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/were-women-in-recovery-why-are-we-still-labeled-whores/></div>
