This show is for drug addicts in recovery BY a heroin addict in recovery. Living with active addiction is hell and getting sober is an incredible accomplishment. However, it doesn’t end there; we must then maintain our sobriety and assimilate into society as normal, functioning, productive people…all while living sober dealing with triggers and cravings. Of course, addiction recovery does get easier, especially with a community of support. We can only go up from here, sobriety is an opportunity to shine and have an amazing, sober life, so let’s do it!

In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we continue our talk about authenticity. After active addiction, we begin living sober but are faced with the question of, “Who am I now?” You know you can’t continue to be the same person you were during active addiction so how do you reinvent yourself into a new version of you and remain authentic and true to yourself? Is this a version of self that you can sustain? It can definitely cause anxiety since the person you were for so many years during active addiction is no longer who (or what) you are now. It’s also exciting because the possibilities are truly limitless. Be the type of person you’ve always admired.
