Accept the Past; Allow the Future

One of the biggest struggles for me as a recovering addict was accepting my past and moving on. Sometimes the truth is hard to face. It is even more to difficult to comprehend that I no longer have to wear a mask, I can be myself, and people may actually prove to me that I am worth loving. Sharing my story will help me expose the authentic self and rid my world of the shame I have been burdening myself with for years.
