It is not easy to lead a life in recovery, and maintaining that life takes an extraordinary amount of vulnerability. Drinking and abusing drugs fosters a strong sense of shame and guilt that is not easy to overcome. We often feel as though we will never be good enough, or that we will always disappoint our loved ones. Furthermore, we are often afraid to even succeed. The reality is that in order to grow and change we have to become vulnerable and express these feelings to those who are close to us.

OPC 81: Setting Boundaries with a Toxic Parent
Some of us have loving, caring, and supportive parents. Unfortunately, there are those of us who have toxic parents. They might be addicts, narcissists, or generally abusive. As children we fall into the habit of trying to be seen and heard by our parents, but with a toxic parent that never happens. Once we begin to heal our childhood trauma, we may realize that it is time to start setting boundaries with a toxic parent.

OPC 80: Addicted To How Food Makes You Feel
If you are struggling with your health and physical wellness it is important to understand that you are not alone. Admitting you have a problem is always the first step. The next step is figuring out how the problem started. The final step is creating a reasonable and sustainable solution.

Food is necessary to sustain our lives, but just like anything else it can be abused in order to distract us from our feelings.
