"A drug test, back when we were in active addiction, didn't only tell on us; it made us look in the mirror."
Ever wondered how the mirror of a drug test can reveal more than just substances? Matt Stevens dives into a solo episode of 'My Sober Addiction', bringing to light a Reddit story that struck a chord. This tale involves an addict in recovery facing accusations of relapse from a cousin, despite riding high on sobriety and landing a multi-million pound painting contract. The cousin's jealousy seems to overshadow the addict's progress, leading to a dramatic demand for eviction.
Matt explores the complexities of trust and support within family dynamics, touching on how success can sometimes breed envy rather than celebration. He shares personal anecdotes about the anxiety surrounding drug tests during active addiction and how they now serve as proof of sobriety. Matt's light-hearted yet poignant narrative offers insights into how recovering addicts can harness momentum to propel themselves forward, while dealing with scepticism from those who once offered support.
