#recoveryjourney #mentalhealthmatters #healingjourney

I'm 6 years in recovery, and my journey started with removing substances, learning how to use coping tools instead of numbing and hiding. I have broken free from generational trauma, setting healthy boundaries, and holding a firm exit when those boundaries are pushed.

This is not easy, and often im very alone. I'm not sad about it, I'm grateful for the journey!

thanks for reading, and I please share a story or just say hey!

... Read moreRecovery is a deeply personal and transformative journey, often requiring immense strength and courage. Individuals in recovery often face challenges, but focusing on rehabilitation tools and support systems, including therapy and community groups, can foster healing. Setting boundaries is crucial for maintaining progress and mental health, allowing individuals to protect their journey from triggers. Sharing experiences with like-minded individuals can create a supportive environment where one feels understood and less isolated. It’s vital to remember that every story is unique; whether you're at the beginning, middle, or end of your journey, persistence and self-acceptance are key. Never hesitate to reach out for help as the journey of recovery can thrive in the company of others. Remember, you'll never give up on yourself or others, so let's keep moving forward together!

Where I started & where I’m going - STEM edition 📚
If you would’ve told freshman me that I would now be getting my PhD and Physics. I would’ve thought you were crazy. I went into college, choosing a major based on what I thought other people wanted from me instead of what I actually enjoyed and I’m really glad that I was able to make the change
