Grieving the old you
Yes, even the toxic parts!
A lot of people in recovery don’t talk about this enough, there’s real grief involved in letting go of the life you used to live, even when it was destructive.
You’re not just quitting substances, you’re losing things like -
- Old routines
- Certain friendships
- Your “escape”
- A version of yourself that felt familiar
That can create confusion like -
“Why do I miss something that was hurting me?”
What part of your old life do you still find yourself missing sometimes?
Have you ever felt guilty for missing your past?
Comment your answer below and share your experience with the addict in recovery or the one still struggling.
