There’s an outdated idea that getting sober means giving something up — saying goodbye to partying, excitement, fun and impulsivity. But really, nothing could be further from the truth.

When you give up drugs and alcohol, you’re opening yourself up to a better life, with the freedom to do what you really want. That’s why there is no reason that a sober life has to be a boring life. In fact, going into treatment and getting into recovery often leaves you with the health, energy and motivation to live life to the fullest.

Getting sober is a decision for health and wellness; it's a move that frees you to pursue the life you've always wanted.

Human nature leads us to create explanations for things we don’t understand. We encounter large problems and try to apply our limited experience or our belief system to them so we can feel like we understand them and they aren’t so intimidating. Most commonly believed myths are relatively harmless, like believing you will get cramps if you swim right after eating. But when it comes to addiction, the myths that exist cost lives with regularity.

The Opioid Crisis article series, written the first and third week of each month, is meant to educate the community about addiction in general and the opioid crisis in specific
