Success After Excess

Hello everyone and welcome to today's episode where I wanted to talk about the truth of what existed underneath the mask that I wore for so long during the throws of my addiction.  I worked incredibly hard to put on a pretty mask so that the world would not be able to see the real me and what fuelled me every day... sadness, anger, insecurity, guilt, self pity, self loathing, FEAR, uncertainty and so on.... all great things right?! The fact of the matter was that all my efforts were for not as people could still see the real me and the fact that I was struggling was evident.  When I was ready to get sober up and face the truth of myself and my life, I was truly terrified! I can tell you though that it was incredibly liberating to let the layers that I had built up over the years fall away, It was such a sense of relief and I would do it all over again however I hope that I will never have to.
