This book I've created is my story of my life mostly involving mental health related memories, life lessons and much more. Will update with more other related stories about my past that can make one laugh, learn, agree, relate to and much more. Plea...
Awareness: Being aware of things that aren't easily able to be seen is important for me. And after a certain point in thinking back to times when I did things, said things, later realizing I wasn't being honest with my friends and family even myself. I said I was okay, but earlier that day and other days, I cried my eyes out so hard. In all reality, how is that okay? It's not. But after realizing and being aware of all those times I made that same mistake, I thought "I must have been crazy then, making them believe that I was okay." The next thing I thought later throughout my recovery, that I shouldn't be hard on myself like that. It's in the past, I can't go back and change it. I just have to accept that, let it go, move on and use it to look back to see how far I have come. My recovery taught me to be kind to myself in all these different ways to help me stay mentally healthy and sane so that I don't go back down that road again. Being in recovery, helped me believe that:
"Recovery does not take a day off"
Believing this, I realized that if I ever take one day off, I'll get worse again. Going down that road that I'm way too familiar with which I had decided in the beginning of my recovery, that I would do whatever I had to do so that I don't go back there. Even when you go on vacation with your friends or family, your still working on your recovery. One thing in the world that does not take a break.
