41 days clean and 39 days smoke free!!!
Prior to my active addiction, I began to withdraw from my social circles.
I was becoming increasingly angry and impatient.
During my active addiction I stopped talking to those who loved me – except my mother and father.
Rather than risk vulnerability, I developed habits that kept others at a safe distance. I was emotionally, and later, physically isolating.
I began to take risks I always said I would never take, but now, I’m taking risks with my feelings.
By sharing with other addicts, and sharing my story with you, I’ve learned I’m not unique in that respect.
I’m beginning to shed the emotional camouflage that I wore during my active addiction.
I will continue being vulnerable and celebrate the new developing me!
