Most people think resilience is about holding on.
But sometimes the real lesson is what happens when we don’t let go — even when we should.

In this story, I share the first time I ever went water skiing. I popped up perfectly, adrenaline flowing, imagining my high school sweetheart cheering me on from the boat. The turns, the wake, the natural high — it was pure dopamine and pride.

But then came the wobble.
The corrections that didn’t work.
The moment everything slipped.

And the part that mattered most:
I didn’t let go of the rope.

If you’ve ever held on too long — to control, to old habits, to an identity, to something that was dragging you under — this story might land with you.

This is The ReFrame: taking everyday moments and seeing recovery through a new lens.

Denial and its effect on the human brain. How this thought, action, and behavior is both a shield and a trap! It’s psychological and physiological. Please tell us what you think in the comments. Follow for more.

People think addiction starts with “chasing a high.”
For many of us, it started with relief — relief from the pain of how we saw ourselves.

A distorted self-view filters out the positive, amplifies the negative, and creates an uneasiness that substances temporarily quiet.
Not because we’re flawed… but because living with that constant inner tension is exhausting.

Recovery isn’t about becoming perfect.
It’s about learning to see ourselves more clearly and treating the critic in our head so it doesn’t run the show.

If you needed this reminder today, you’re not alone.

Denial and survival mode. Why continue to lower one’s own morals and values? Addiction is such a manipulator to get what it wants...needs. What do you think? Leave a comment.

Denial isn’t a conscious choice; it’s a built-in defense mechanism that’s hijacked the brain! Do you agree? Tell us your thoughts. No wonder getting sober can be so challenging! We hope you follow for more.


We’ve got an awesome Newsletter called “The Collective.” Check out more info at the Recovery Collective.

Not all diseases leave visible marks.
When the mind is the one struggling, symptoms get mislabeled as choices, weaknesses, or “bad behavior.”

This is why so many people stay stuck in shame — they don’t realize their brain is an organ in distress, not a character flaw.
Addiction, anxiety, depression… these aren’t moral failures. They’re medical conditions with invisible symptoms.

The moment we shift from judgment to understanding, recovery becomes possible.
And rebuilding self-worth is just as important as treating the illness itself.

West Annapolis showed up in the best way for World Kindness Day. 💛

Kindness really does start small — like the free pantry bins outside our office on Annapolis Street. And this week, our friends at made it even sweeter by donating bars to help us spread the love. Thank you, KIND — we choose kind right alongside you.

And our community? Incredible.
Our neighbors at now have a pantry bin at their breakfast and lunch spot,
and our friends at joined in too.

If you’d like to be part of the giveback, you can:
🥫 Donate food if you’re able
❤️ Take food if you need it
📍 Bins are located at The Recovery Collective, Evelyn’s, and The Refuge in West Annapolis

Kindness only grows when we share it — and this community continues to prove that over and over again.

Be kind, Annapolis. ✨
— Your friends at The

Ah motivation. If only I had the ever-fleeting motivation more consistently. That is why establishing systems is so crucial for achieving and maintaining sobriety and healthy patterns in general.

Surrender is one of the most challenging and misunderstood aspects of recovery.
It sounds like giving up… but it’s actually the beginning of freedom.

For so many people I’ve worked with, the cycle starts the same way :
The thing that once took away the pain eventually becomes the pain.
The solution becomes the problem.
The medicine becomes the poison.

We hold tighter to what’s hurting us, because letting go feels too much like loss.
But that moment, when we finally admit, “I can’t fix this alone”
That’s not defeat.
That’s surrender.
And that’s where real healing begins.

Acceptance doesn’t mean you’re “okay” with what happened.
It means you’re done fighting reality.
That’s where real recovery begins.

As a therapist, I’ve seen the other side of “just weed.”
THC has no national potency limit for medical purposes — and modern cannabis is up to 45x stronger than the 1970s.
This isn’t judgment, it’s education.
