It’s no longer something I hide.
My addictions are something that make up my whole self.
The sooner I realized that and accepted it, the sooner I could not be a slave to those addictions. I have dealt with addiction much of my adult life and it has caused a great deal of pain and turmoil. The big change for me has been to not hide it but me authentic and straight up about this part of my life and experience. Additionally, it has been vital for me to embrace my wellness and recovery program. Lucky for me, my corporate wellness program is assisting me in getting the guidance and support to keep me on track. Health and wellness are vital to overcoming and then managing addiction in one’s life. I was guided to a health and wellness center as part of my wellness and recovery program. The certified fitness experts and the nutritional counseling are a very important support for me. It isn’t just a local gym where I do a workout program. I am there with wellness and recovery firmly entrenched as my main priority. I do group fitness training classes with other people who are also in a wellness and recovery program. That is so important to have that shared experience when dealing with these issues. I know that I am on the right track in my recovery. And I know that being a part of the health and wellness center is key to maintaining this positive trajectory.
