WE HAD A SLIP UP: What recovery is really like.

Now...we had a bit of a wobble recently that came way out of left field and hit me right in the gonads!! When it comes to recovery I feel there is a wall that remains projecting a somewhat deceiving picture as to what happens in this period. A lot of the time we see only the positive side to individuals recovery (which is totally amazing and by no means a bad thing!), and although no story is the same so this doesn't necessarily apply across the board, I can't help but think portraying only the joyous side in recovery can be risky business, for when blips may happen along the way, it could be extremely overwhelming, even more so if you feel like you're the only one who has experienced this.
My most recent blip only happened last week and I felt like I had taken a thousand steps backwards. Thankfully I managed to turn it around to a degree that was manageable and have focused on regaining that control back. I think it is important that we see this side of recovery and how it isn't a simple A to B process. IT'S OKAY TO HAVE BAD DAYS!!. Accept it. Then let it go.
I hope this video can shed some light on this and also give some encouragement to those who need it. You've come so far and you are doing better than you think. Keep going. x
