Recovery is the pursuit of reinventing oneself. Reinvention doesn’t happen overnight; like athletic training, it requires dedication, consistency, and the alignment of the body, mind, and soul. There is no going back to who you were before recovery—only forward momentum toward who you will become.

If you choose not to break the silence, you may never become the person you were destined to be. You could remain a prisoner to your addiction or mental health struggles.
