“The High Was Never The Point” 🎙️
I didn’t start using because life was good. I picked up because something inside me hurt too damn much to face. Substances weren’t a party—they were painkillers.
Sobriety doesn’t erase those wounds… it turns the lights on. And when that happens, it feels raw, ugly, and overwhelming. But it’s not failure—it’s healing.
This week on Real Talk Revival, I get brutally honest about: ⚡ The hidden trauma beneath addiction (the lowercase “t” wounds we ignore) ⚡ Why early sobriety feels harder before it gets better ⚡ The shame cycle—and how to break it ⚡ Six real tools to rebuild your life without numbing out
This one is for anyone who’s ever wondered: “Why do I keep falling into the same patterns? Why can’t I just be okay?”
You’re not broken. You’re not failing. You’re healing.

Do me a favor—share this with someone who’s struggling this week. One “thinking of you” could be the thing that keeps them going.
