What happened?

Hey everyone! How are you all this week? I hope very well! So this week I wanted to dive into a concept that led my to a much needed emotional release recently. It was the realization or rather acceptance and acknowledgement that there was never and still is not something wrong with me. Rather, due to my genetic make up, coupled with my upbringing and experiences, I came to understand that things happened and on account of those things, More things happened, my addiction kicked into high gear and the destructive behaviours escalated. Now this wasn't a pass that excused all that I had done wrong so to speak, however it is the opportunity that I needed to see myself as someone who was sick and in in great need of help if I was ever going to get better. We all need a place to start and in all honesty... this was a huge jumping off point for me and perhaps it can be for others too!
