Why Social Capital Matters in Substance Use Recovery Alright, let's dive into a topic that's absolutely crucial for anyone navigating substance use disorder recovery: social capital. You might be wondering, "Social capital? What's that got to do with st...

"In essence, social capital is about more than just having friends. It's about building a network of supportive relationships that can provide emotional, practical, and social support. It's about finding a community where you belong and feel valued."
www.mobilizerecovery.org/why_social_c...

A complicated, but necessary, boundary every survivor eventually faces in recovery is: something can be incredibly sad, & we can have overwhelming empathy for someone-- & but also, we do not have the bandwidth, resources, or right to try to step in & try to solve this problem.

"Tip your server. Return your shopping cart. Pick up a piece of trash. Hold the door for the person behind you. Let someone into your lane. Small acts can have a ripple effect. That’s how we change the world." Unknown

There are many ways you can be kind🥰

Yes! I’ll always be grateful for my bottom. I used it to propel me forward until I was able to find the proper tools to heal and recover, yet all these years later I consider myself a work in progress 🌻

Sometimes the smallest wins are the ones that keep us going.

In trauma recovery it's real common, when we start making decisions from our authenticity as opposed to our conditioning, to be absolutely convinced we're about to be "in trouble" or punished.

That's old programming, f*cking w/ you. Keep going.

Yes, it is a good morning!

What if I can do it?
Recovery taught me that even the tiniest yes to myself counts.

Every ‘one day’ I whispered in chaos led me to this ‘day one’ in clarity. Turns out rock bottom has a trapdoor labeled start here.

In recovery, the great days remind me why I started. The challenging ones remind me why I don’t stop. Joy or experience. Either way, I’m collecting wins.

If you're like 99% of trauma survivors, you've struggled w/ questions of "was it real?", "was it really that bad?", and/or "was it my fault?"

Trauma Brain uses those questions to invalidate our pain-- & try to convince us we don't "deserve" sympathy or support.

Don't bite.

You don't just treat addiction! You have to also treat undiagnosed ADHD, PTSD, depression, trauma, poverty, and break generational cycles.

A lot of time addiction is the result of someone's best attempt at coping with underlying issues that were never dealt with in the first place!
