Mental Health Awareness: 2018, when I loved drugs more than myself.

Look at this photo...

2018 ^

I'm awkwardly pretending to have fun.

Coke and MDMA hanging out of my mouth.

Today, I see that photo differently. It shows a man:

- Lost in pain

- Scared of being judged

- Feeling completely worthless

By 2021, I took control.

- I wrote daily about my thoughts and feelings

- This helped me recognise patterns and triggers

- I used a feelings wheel to better identify my emotions

- Therapy was tough but crucial

- It forced me to face my vulnerabilities

- This was the most important step in my growth

- Hiding parts of myself fuelled my addiction

- Being honest about who I am brought freedom

- (Have the courage to be disliked)

Addiction is stigmatised, making it harder for those struggling to seek help...

โ†’ We hide

โ†’ We suppress

โ†’ We subjugate 

Which only worsens the problem...

To anyone struggling with addiction, remember this:

- Your pain

- Your quirks

- Your dreams

The lot...

Itโ€™s crucial for breaking free.

Freedom begins with confrontation and acceptance. 

In support of mental health awareness week and my commitment to help, Iโ€™m offering my Circuit Breaker workshop to you, my email subscribers completely free.

This micro-course is designed to:

- Identify the underlying causes of addiction

- Equip you with strategies to overcome them

- Help you reclaim your life and overcome addiction

Let me know what you think : )
