I’m learning to be compassionate toward myself. I spent so long punishing myself, through drinking, starving, self-criticism, and isolation, that I lacked self-kindness. Emotional sobriety is learning to sit with discomfort and know I’m ok, grow through slow and painful changes, and not expect myself to be further along than I am. Managing emotions sometimes feels like clawing out of an abyss with your fingernails. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, things do shift. Today I remind myself that faith is holding onto hope when life bites me in the ankles. I choose to believe in the version of me I haven’t met yet. The version who will bloom through the struggles I face today is only possible through self-kindness. Resilience is having faith that a new, healthier version of me will emerge through each challenge.Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and YouTube. For more information, visit me at ⁠⁠⁠recoverydailypodcast.com⁠⁠⁠ or email me at ⁠[email protected]⁠.Visit my Etsy shop, Recovery Upcycling. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RecoveryUpcyclingFor more information about vestibular disorders, visit https://vestibular.org.#EmotionalSobriety #SelfCompassion #MentalHealthRecovery #TraumaHealing #SlowGrowth #ResilienceOverPerfection #FaithInTheFuture #HealingTakesTime #ProgressNotPerfection #YouAreNotAlone
