Over time, we let 3D reality bury that image alive and used substances to ease the pain of suffocating our true essence. Sobriety allowed me to dig up the tomb and resuscitate myself. It’s been so liberating and truly miraculous.
I love your line about sitting down with your seven-year-old self. For me, alcoholism was an existential crisis that ensued because I had long betrayed myself. Recovery is about becoming who I am.
