Navigating Anti Social Personality Disorder: My Journey

...See more This is a big step for me, because until now I still haven't been able to come to terms with the fact that I have a problem. I still feel like ASPD is a made up thing. I feel normal, and I have always been of the persuasion that society is the problem. Yes, I have trouble maintaining relationships, and even keeping a job. I have also had my fair share of running into the law. It wasn't until someone explained to me that therapy isn't about being mind controlled and that it's about growing as a person that I was able to start taking positive steps.  I still have many hurdles to overcome, and maybe by documenting this journey I can help someone else that is going through something similar. I am going to share my thoughts here, and reflect on my progress, and I am also going to share my insights with a therapist moving forward. Let's see where this journey leads.
Addiction Recovery My Journey.

...See more For fear of the stigma attached to it, I don't want to say what my addiction is that I am recovering from. But I feel that it's important to document my journey as it can give me new insights and help others. I have overcome many addictions in my life like smoking, alcoholism and drugs, so this is just another hill to climb. I could have overcome this 10 years ago, and God knows I tried. But back then I didn't have the information, support and resources available to me that I have now. I know that I can overcome this, and that my life will change in a positive way. I am just sad that I had to hit rock bottom before finally deciding to make a change. I always thought that I was a strong person, and that I could face anything. But I see now that this was all an illusion, and that the addiction just gave me the illusion of being strong. In actual fact, I am a really weak person, because instead of facing my problems, I ran from them. I just numbed myself so that I wouldn't have to face the abuse and the stress in my own life. And the addiction helped me to cope, I am not going to sugar coat it. Now that I am sobering up and becoming clean for the first time in 20 years, I can see that my life is in shambles.
