Recovery is Better When We're Open-Minded http://fromaddict2advocate.com marilyn l davis

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>

My realization of the value of life was not an epiphany, striking me with profound insight and wisdom on living and dying; more of a learning experience from seeing how many lives ended quickly from addiction, yet how extended many were by recovery. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/are-we-living-our-recovery/></div>

Recovery Means No More Fake Appearances marilyn l davis from addict 2 advocate

Posted on December 14, 2019October 26, 2021

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>
