The more I work with people, and on myself, the more I have come to appreciate that we are all craving connection and real intimacy often in ways, we can’t even fully appreciate.
In the beginning, alcohol and drugs often gives us a new, albeit false, sense of power. A power to experience new:
- possibilities
- options
- courage
- determination
- excitement
- hope
- vulnerability
- connection
- freedom
- love
Sadly, what many may one day understand is that this temporary answer aggravates the original problem.
That said, recovering addict and alcoholics of all types can rediscover a freedom inside of their sobriety to learn how to create this deep intimacy and connection.
You don’t have to do it alone!
Much love 🙏🏽,
