I was recently acknowledged for my sobriety by someone important in my life, which impacted me deeply. It got me thinking about why this recognition by this particular person had so much weight, and why I received it differently then I do when other people in my life recognize me for the same continuous battle. After a few days of sitting with this experience I realized what was different about it, it was because it was the first time in my life that a strong, positive, male figure, that I look up to and admire, witnessed and celebrated me for the strength that it took to turn my deficit into a superpower. He didn't just observe my battle, he also verbally expressed my win. Which got me thinking even further, am I intentionally celebrating and verbally acknowledging others for the same? Am I asking what's hard for them or am I only championing them for the battles I can see?
