    Life After Addiction and Dealing with Regret

    Today we talk about actions that we took while we were in addiction, how we feel about those actions now and how to let go and move forward without bringing those feelings along with us. I’ll be the first to admit, mistakes were made… okay?! Not just one mistake but MANY and now I must live with those things!! For any person, it’s hard to admit when you’ve really messed up! Imagine recklessly betraying your best friend, your spouse, or the trust of your children. In my opinion there is no worse feeling than knowing what you did and living with that choice. Now that we are sober we are having to acknowledge the pain we’ve caused ourselves and others, the time we’ve lost, the mountain of guilt we’ve piled onto ourselves. Let's get into it!

    The Stigma Placed on Addiction

    Stigma refers to the discrimination against a particular group of people, identifiable by a common nation, place, condition, or other attribute. Some people have a stigma against those with a substance use disorder because of inaccurate and outdated beliefs about addiction that led harmful stereotypes, assumptions, and negative attitudes. The stigma of addiction can result in harmful and dangerous consequences. It can be a huge deterrent for people struggling with Substance use disorders who may want to get help to stop using but since there’s this negative aura that surrounds addiction, research has found that 90% of people do not receive or seek the help that they need and are half as likely to get it to avoid being stigmatized. Let's END this stigma. We are all humans with different struggles and we all need a little compassion and love to help us get through the hard times.
