Grief and loss don’t disappear just because we choose recovery. 💙
For many of us, getting sober means finally feeling emotions we spent a long time avoiding — including sadness, regret, and missing people or versions of ourselves we’ve lost.
Grief can be layered:
• loss of loved ones
• loss of relationships
• loss of time
• loss of the person we thought we’d be
In recovery, we learn that it’s okay to grieve and keep moving forward. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting — it means making space for the pain without letting it define us. 🌱
If you’re carrying grief today, you’re not weak and you’re not alone. Take it one day, one breath, one honest moment at a time. 🤍
