can we talk about the pressure sometimes in recovery culture to be constantly "on" and positive? like, yeah, I'm grateful for my sobriety, that's a HUGE deal and I wouldn't trade it for anything. but that doesn't mean every single day is sunshine and rainbows. sometimes it's just... hard. and that's okay to acknowledge, right. it doesn't make me any less committed. i get so tired of feeling like I have to put on a brave face all the time. sometimes I'm just tired. or frustrated. or a little bit sad. and I don't want to feel like I'm letting anyone down if I admit that. we're all human, still figuring things out. be kind to yourselves out there. ❤️ it's a marathon not a sprint, and sometimes you just need to walk for a bit.
