Hello!
I've also moved into more "truthful" pursuits because actively resisting the stuff that harms us keeps us sober, sane and mentally healthy :)
Have links and can share if you want them. I've been in recovery for many years now. Honesty is the foundation! :D
Radical honesty, really. And the more we avoid our situation, and hence, ourselves, the more "sick" we become.
It's not rocket science, as it turns out. A dear friend actually just sent me another link this morning from a Pyychiatrist at Stanford who's punting same perspective and said he found it and thought of me :D I get cancelled a LOT btw! 😆
But I no longer mind. Because I am honetly at peace for the first time ever. No need to use shit to avoid things then, right?
I no longer need meds, haven't done support groups and no therapist for years now. There is also no desire to use anything anymore at all. Even when life happens. Not "working it". Just don't want to anymore.
It was stepping up against the shit that was abusive in my external environment that got me here today. So... you keep on being you.
That is the honest way "out" apparently. From the doctors now!
