The great paradox of addiction is that while it’s is not a conscious choose/decision we make or personal failing we’re too weak to overcome, we do have to make a decision to choose sobriety. Being an alcoholic or struggling with addiction means that I am bodily and mentally different from “normal people.” My brain functions just fine in every other situation other than where drugs and alcohol are involved. I have a disease, one of the only diseases in the world that tries to convince me I don’t have it. My brain plays tricks on me that convinces to to self-sabotage, self-destruct, and burn my own life to the ground. The absurdity is that with the proper resources and support, I can turn the volume down on that little voice in my head. Essentially, I had to learn to get out of my own way so that the rational, logical, and “sane” parts of my brain could take over. The only thing holding me back, was the part of me that I didn’t know how to let go of. I was my biggest problem. I was the roadblock that kept putting the bottle in my hand. The biggest problem between drunk me and sober me was… ME! • • • • #iamtheproblem #selfsabotage #selfdestruction #addictionisadisease #addictionsucks #wedorecover #recoveryispossible #recoveryisreal #sobersupport #sobersunday #addictionsupport #addiction #addictionrecovery #sobercommunity #recoverycommunity #alcoholfreecommunity #soberthoughts #soberinstagram #sober #sobriety #soberinspiration #sobermotivation #selfawareness #odaat #recoveringalcoholic https://www.instagram.com/p/CpatoXyuf3s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I’ve recently released my first music video, called ‘Use me’. It deals with bulimia, struggling to conform to the increasing pressures of society, drugs, mental health and fun things like that.
I was formerly a high fashion model, which massively fucked me up, and I suffered with anorexia and then bulimia. I later bought my way out of my contract as I recognised I was no longer willing to, quite literally, change myself for other people.
I remember my bulimic / anorexic days so well. Food was all I thought about. It ruled my life. I was scared of bread. Hunger heightened my anxiety. I couldn’t imagine time where I would never NOT think about food.
But that time did come. And it’s such a good time.
My latest BTS from this music video discusses more. By all means check it out. I’ll post the music video below, and you can find the BTS on my channel from 2pm GMT today.
I’m here to help spread the word and also help anyone out who needs to talk. I currently sponsor someone in OA (over eaters anonymous- but also deals with anorexia etc).
Black Balloon Day… A moment of silence for all the still sick and suffering addicts and alcoholics, the families that are mourning the loss of a loved one to this disease, and for those who drank, used, or picked up for the first time today who didn’t know where it would lead them. Black Balloon Day has become a national and international event, bringing awareness to overdose deaths. It’s a day that families and loved ones pause to remember and celebrate the lives lost to overdose. On days like today, I remember to be extra grateful for my sobriety. So many of us try quit but cannot. I am among the lucky ones, and if you’re alive and reading this then you are too. I’m glad you’re here, and for those we’ve lost a long the way… you will be missed. 🖤💔🖤💔🖤💔🖤 • • • • #blackballoons #blackballoonday #blackballoon #addictionawareness #overdoseawareness #overdoseawarenessday #sober #sobriety #recoveryispossible #recoveryisreal #recoveryworks #odaat #inremembrance #momentofsilence #sobercommunity #recoverycommunity #sobersupport #addiction #addictionrecovery #march6th #soberinstagram #idontdrink #neverusealone #addictionisafamilydisease #nevergiveup #addictionsupport #addictionsucks #alcoholicsanonymous #friendsofbillw #recoveroutloud https://www.instagram.com/p/CpciOIAuP8U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Chi usa questa frase spesso non ha nient’altro da dire. Chi la pronuncia inconsapevolmente sottovaluta quello che sta facendo l’altro è invece di incoraggiare irrita e e trasmette un senso di inferiorità e ineguadezza.
