How much do we identify with who we think we are that we let it dictate our choices and behaviors? We are often so afraid in recovery of the person we might become that we rarely think about what happens if we stay the same? We hold onto these old “identities” about ourselves so tightly. These old personas of the “fuck-up,” the “helpless victim,” or even the “very capable got-my-shit-together, overachiever.” These are affronts to who we really are underneath these personas. These old masks, and ways of responding to the world, don’t work in recovery. The longer you stay sober, the more you discover WHO you really are, and the more you attempt to hide it, the more painful it becomes. As Tony Robbins says, “Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.” Hopefully, you can address this sooner than later.
