Who am I without substances?

Need to know who you are without substances?

It's a legit question and precisely what I worked through to have the biggest breakthrough in my recovery.

Here's a bit of my back story...

When I first stopped using substances, I thought I would be focusing on managing my mental health and trauma issues. My depression had me in tears on a daily basis and my anxiety was through the roof. I was truly scared to face myself. I didn't think I could handle it, and feared I would fall to pieces any second.

But as I stayed the course with living substance-free, my mental health got better and I realized there was more to my use then just my depression and anxiety.

I didn't really know who I was without my issues.

That may sound strange but my identity had been built around being a complicated and broken person.

Letting go of this persona proved way more difficult then I could have imagined. You would think it would be easy to let go of something that wasn't working for you, right? It wasn't.

It's hard to let go of something when you don't know what you are stepping into. "Better the devil you know then the devil you don't know," as the saying goes.

This is precisely why the change process is hard. And precisely why self-discovery is SO necessary.

I had to go on a discovery process of Self. Who am I beyond substance use, mental health, trauma, _____ (fill in the blank)?

There were many things I didn't know how to do when it came to Self.

  • I didn't know how to be compassionate to myself when I made mistakes.
  • I didn't know how to forgive myself for past choices I had made.
  • I didn't know how to take care of myself in a way that felt intentional and good for me.
  • I didn't know how to respect myself by setting healthy boundaries with others.
  • I didn't know how to own my lack of personal responsibility to my life.
  • I didn't know how to commit to my light instead of letting the dark parts of me lead.
  • I didn't know how to accept myself as a human being who was imperfect.
  • I didn't know what to focus on to make my life better but I learned.

There were so many things I had to learn, but I was willing to find my answers instead of live a life of emotional suffering and struggle.
