That's where I primarily found that sense of relief, and I don't know what it was, I don't know why, but I loved it every minute of and until I stopped loving it and until it was in charge of me. And that is a power that I've discovered: to live authentically and be proud of your scars, be proud of your quirks, be proud of who you are.
What happens when your identity is tied to your addiction, and you suddenly have to start over? Blake Cohen knows this struggle all too well. In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff chats with Blake, a Certified Addictions Professional and life coach, about his path to self-acceptance and finding his true self in recovery. Blake opens up about how addiction consumed his identity and how sobriety offered him a chance to rebuild from the ground up.
He shares the highs and lows of this journey, from grappling with shame and guilt to embracing authenticity and self-love. Blake's story is a testament to the transformative power of recovery. He discusses the importance of addressing the root causes of addiction and the liberating feeling of seeking help. The conversation also touches on mental health awareness, the reality of relapse, and the critical role of support systems in achieving long-term sobriety.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a message of hope.
