Dallas Bragg reflects on recovery from meth addiction, arguing that real progress means being comfortable alone. He finds joy in small moments now, like watching a new Monstera leaf grow, instead of the boredom that once drove him to use.
So you wanna know how well you're doing in recovery? How comfortable are you just being alone? You know, my weekends have become sometimes just me and my baby plants. And it's pretty boring on the outside. It would've been boring for me in early recovery and before meth and of course during meth. But I've come to really be— find my dopamine in the small things. Find my dopamine in the pleasures like this new leaf that just popped out on my Monstera. Being alone And being happy with just your own company, that's the sign that you're getting there, that you are approaching a new level of recovery. How comfortable are you being alone?
