As I'm travelling down the early part of recovery I'm feeling more and more each day that the person I was is unrecognisable now. That's certainly not saying I'm perfect and as I've posted before, I don't ever think I will be recovered and not need to do the daily work. It's hard to look back and understand why I became the person I was but then again, dwelling on the past isn't good for anyone. I look at the past as a reminder not to regress or relapse and instead look for the opposites in a new way of thinking
On to the topic, I looked in the mirror this morning and although I partially saw the person in my past it wasn't the same. For one I was smiling. I had pride and pep which was transparent in my reflection. I could see purpose and drive. I could see so much more than before and a confidence rather than arroganceÂ
I would love anyone reading this to stand in front of your own mirror and maybe post on here what you see and then like me compare that again in six months time.Â
