The process of recovery is never a smooth or easy path. For many, the struggle isn’t just in staying away from the substance but in letting go of the deeply ingrained character defects that fueled the addiction in the first place.
Often, these defects become woven into our very identities, offering a paradoxical comfort even as they inflict pain on us and those we love.
While recovery offers freedom and a chance to rebuild, it also demands a willingness to leave behind familiar behaviors that, however destructive, provided a twisted form of stability.
