Dallas Bragg talks to people in recovery from chemsex about how to reconnect with who they really are. He says picking three core values works like a GPS: it cuts through the lying and confusion, and makes it clear what your truth actually is.
Anyone who has been in the chemsex scene knows what it's like to lie, manipulate, strategically leave out information, or know when to strategically share it. Oftentimes we get into recovery and we don't know how to share our truth because we don't know what the hell the truth is. We've lost connection with ourselves and we begin believing in our own lies. And sharing your truth is about first understanding and connecting With your truth. What is it that you truly feel? Who is it that you truly are? What are your values? Having a set of values and making those the compass of your life is going to move you toward a life worth living. Having a set of values, and I suggest having 3, will help you make decisions quickly, will help you navigate the world with confidence, and you'll You'll always know what's true because it's value-based. You won't have to ask yourself, what is my truth in this moment? What do I think in this moment? What do I do next? It's all measured and based on what you value. And if I hold these 3 values in place, they act as my GPS. If I uphold my values, I will always, always share my truth. I will always know my truth. It takes out the guesswork, takes out the opportunity for me to be out of alignment with my higher self. So today, ask yourself, what are my values and how can I live my truth through those values?
