What is surprising you about recovery? I genuinely want to know.
That after the first few months it became very manageable. Urges and cravings became reminders of the disease more than potential relapses.
I was surprised how quickly my body adjusted too.
I was surprised that the things I enjoyed doing while using drugs could gradually become things I enjoyed doing sober, ie music. I was pleasantly surprised that I could still write, perform and produce. And that I was even better at my craft because I wasn’t high. I thought I would have to say goodbye to being creative. But I’ve actually flourished.
You realize u can live ur life with out drugs and alcohol. How much happier your are. How much better u feel
