Addiction is a disease & we cannot be cured from it. We can however, maintain long term sobriety by working a program of recovery & manage our addiction by not feeding it. Don't tell me addicts are weak. Recovering addicts are the strongest people that walk on this planet. We are strong because we know that the only other option for us other than recovery is death! We are strong because we fight for our recovery on a daily basis. We are strong because we have to work daily to repair the damage & pain we inflicted in our active addiction. We are strong because we strive to be better than we were the day before & will continue that fight on a daily basis for the rest of our lives. Don't tell me I'm weak because

#TheTruth about #Addicts
"If you have a loved one that battles an addiction, please remember that 'I love you' gets thrown out the window when you call them a druggie, junkie, or a loser. We addicts internalize those words & it makes us worse, not better." - Ashley Brewer

Do you see the gray bar that says "share" that is located underneath your image and above where it shows who's liked it? If you click on that, social media buttons will appear & you just click on the platform you wish to share to. 😉 Let me know if you still have questions. #WUVIP IMG_3189
Hey you, dreamer <3
I want you to close your eyes and think about one of the best dreams you’ve ever had and take your mind back to that happy place. Think about what you’re doing, the people around you, the scenery, and the weather. Above all, think about how this state of mind makes you feel. Hold on to that feeling, you’re going to need it in a minute.
Now, open your eyes but still hold on to that feeling of complete happiness from your dream. Does your current reality reflect that? Why not? You see, we hold the power to make that feeling from our dream our realities and there should be no reason why we are settling for anything less than. No other person or outside circumstance can hold us back from pursuing our dreams and reaching that place of ultimate happiness on a daily basis. We must not only open our minds to the limitless possibilities that lie before us, but we must open our hearts as well. Once we’ve done so, we are on our way to owning our dreams and making them our reality. Believe in yourself the way that I believe in you.
Love & Light
Ashley
