The Recovery Reality Nobody Prepared Me For

Please ignore my dog whining in the background, she wanted to go outside and play!I thought recovery would be hard, but I didn’t expect it to look like this.Nobody prepared me for the grief of living in a body that feels unfamiliar, the frustration of doing everything “right” and still feeling stuck, or the loneliness of watching other people’s recovery journeys seem so much simpler than my own. In this episode, I’m talking about the gap between what we expect recovery to be and what it can actually feel like, the physical discomfort, body changes, uncertainty, comparison, and emotional exhaustion that often don’t get talked about enough.TikTok- Abbie’sRecovery
