Today's episode I am exploring the idea that I am unchanged through all my struggles. I’m going to reflect on exploring the essence of identity amidst the changes shaped by recovery from alcoholism and surviving a stroke. Despite the shifts in my health, social circles, daily routines, and approach to challenges, I’m realizing that, at my core, I remain unchanged.
To discuss this I’m going to start with talking about five things that have changed in my life since I began recovery 7 years ago and dual recovery 2 years ago. Then I’ll talk about four things that haven’t change in my life through it all. These are my identity. These are what make me ME.
