Finding purpose while staying sober 💕
As part of my own healing process I started to volunteer for other people struggling with mental health and it’s very rewarding.
I know I have to take care of myself before I can care for others, and that I deserve to heal for myself.
But being able to help others gives my life a sense of purpose and to stay sober, plus the added responsibility keeps me busy.
I’m hopeful for this new chapter ❤️
Hey @holdingtohope , I admire your outlook on this ! It is true , healing (yourself) and helping (others) complement each other ! I am happy to know you're enjoying this new found purpose, helping others is certainly very rewarding , it can surely boost our self esteem and inspire us to keep going also ! But yes like you mentioned, always needed to keep our own cup full before pouring into others' !
Rooting for youu ! Happy healing and supporting , you are awesome! ❤
