Rock Bottom to Dream Builder
There was a time when I couldn’t even see my dreams, let alone chase them.
When you are in the thick of it, addiction blurs your vision. Codependency keeps you stuck in place. Mental health struggles whisper convincing lies in your ear—lies like “you’re not worthy” or “you’ll never make it.”
It feels like a permanent fog. But here is the truth I discovered: Healing cracks the sky open.
Reclaiming Your Right To Dream
We often think recovery is just about abstinence. But look—recovery isn’t just about staying clean. It is about reclaiming the right to dream.
It is about reconnecting with your Higher Power, finding your people, and slowly, steadily rebuilding the belief that you deserve a future that lights you up.
If your dreams still feel distant today, don’t panic and don’t quit. They aren’t gone. They are just waiting for you to catch up.
Building On A Solid Foundation
How do we catch up? We do it the Level Up way:
- One victory at a time.
- One step at a time.
- One day at a time.
You need to give yourself grace. You have survived storms that would have sunk others. Honor that pain, but do not live there.
Get Excited About Your Future
This is the part where the shift happens. Get excited, because now you aren’t building on sand anymore. You are laying a foundation that won’t crack under pressure.
You are no longer just chasing ghosts or fleeing from your past. You are building your dreams with sober hands, a clear mind, and a heart that is finally ready to receive.
