Many women today were struggling. One reason is the triggering effect of a group of women who left treatment over the weekend and in this morning. Those who choose to remain the course can't help but to wonder what it would be like to give into the craving and get back to the streets. They express fear of leaving, and also a fear of staying. They cry in the pain of not feeling safe anywhere. They resent being 'locked up', they wonder if it is going to all work out. More than anything they want freedom, but also are exhausted at the daunting task ahead of them. But yet, there is something deep down keeping them there. "I don't know why I"m still here".
These are common feelings in early recovery and what is an interesting and often useful antidote is to suggest this is evidence that their recovery is happening, their recovery is working.
Riffing off our session of brain, addiction, and recovery, we played with the feeling tone of freedom and the notion of shrada (faith based on evidence).
