I think my life has been a series of these huge phoenix rising from the ashes moment and this was a huge one. I've had a lot of pivots but the pivot when I left meth and my entire personality changed in a very short period of time, I think I moved further into inauthenticity for a while after bath because I was terrified of myself.
