Dallas Bragg says celebrating sobriety is important, but quitting the substance is just the start. Real recovery means confronting why you got addicted in the first place and rebuilding who you are underneath.
You know, I'm all for celebrating sober time. You know, I think it's of course an accomplishment. It's a celebration that you got rid of the substance for the amount of years, days, even hours. That's— that takes resilience. It takes courage. It takes strength. But the next step is where the real healing comes in, and that's peeling back the layers in your raw vulnerable state to ask yourself, what happened to me to get me to that point? What happened to me to make me an addict? That's when you start digging in. That's when you start getting the healing. That's when you transform into a new person. And just like age doesn't depict maturity, sober time does not depict healing. This is why I became a sober coach. I want to help other people do what I've done and continue to do in this realm. So reach out to me if you'd like some assistance.
