4 years ago I allowed an election push me over the brink of alcoholic induced insanity. 3.5 years years ago I found myself in rehab and had a 30-day reprieve from news and politics. I truly believe it was my toxic mind, more than the alcohol I consumed that needed cleansing! Spending time in recovery is changing how I view the world and how I process life.

I really enjoyed this post and found it very relatable. Recovery principles would benefit so many and heal the division in our country.

The world can be so overwhelming. I used to escape all the trials and tribulations I saw around me (not to mention what was going on inside my heart!) by totally numbing out. What was so sad about that response is that it may have temporarily helped me forget, but I wasn't able to show up and be there for others or myself. It is such a gift to be sober. Thanks for sharing!
