My personal experience with recovery has influenced my family relationship is me and my mom got distance when I started with my addiction with weed, but I didn’t care and I was so focused on getting more and more to feel an effect and to feel good, to feel something I couldn’t feel when I was sober and where I pushed my family, friends, and people I cared about away making myself be/feel isolated and my anxiety got so bad where I had to do it everyday, where I was shaking so much and always crawling back to it and that’s what was on my mind. As soon as I got off work I had to smoke or take edibles and for that I saw how bad it was making me mentally so I got to a point where I got to my senses where I started doing productive stuff like taking walks, going to therapy, jogging, spending more time with family, going out to do things that would get my mind off those negative things, and just being there in general. I slowly tried to stop stopped and became better realizing what that addiction did to me and it was not for the best. Me and my mom are trying to talk and feel more comfortable with each other, as well we try to bond more/spending time together as a mother and daughter. I can say I feel mentally better when not using weed/infused items and even though it was kind of tough for me but I can say I am getting to be my normal self before the addiction again. Ever since I had recovered I have been doing good for me like finding colleges and wanting to obtain a bachelors, a career path I want to do in my future and I never thought that I would make it as far as I am doing right now for my future path. The career I want to do is Education Arts and I believe I will get there as long as I do what I have to do and get a Bachelors to become a teacher like I always dreamed of. I say I am really proud of my self and my well-being because I am not having negative thoughts or urges like I used to have during my addiction and I have a positive mindset towards everything.
