As an Indigenous Recovery Warrior in active recovery from substance use who has faced the brink of suicide, I've learned that trusting people who were supposed to be the closest to me was a difficult failure. It takes a long time to get to know people—a very, very long time.I know that sharing failures is not the most glamorous thing one can do.But I think it's essential for us to celebrate our victories and not-so-proud moments the same.So, I'll go first...I once trusted someone very close to me, only to be let down in a way that deeply affected my recovery. It was a painful experience, and I felt betrayed and alone.Now, although I could get upset, mad, lose motivation, and blame everyone but myself, I chose to use this experience as a learning opportunity and re-think my approach to building trust and relationships.Let's face it. Being in recovery takes a lot of time and energy to get good at, and many things can go wrong.But when things go wrong, they don't always have to be a bad thing.Sometimes, they can help us grow as individuals and in our recovery journey!What recent failure did you have that allowed you to bounce back even stronger?You may also visit this link to check our healing courses and counselling... <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.jdassociates.ca/counselling￼https://www.jdassociates.ca/courses">https://www.jdassociates.ca/counselling https://www.jdassociates.ca/courses</a><img src="https://kajabi-storefronts-production.kajabi-cdn.com/kajabi-storefronts-production/file-uploads/blogs/2147503454/images/8e2a8dd-020f-c00-f10d-8806dea14873_Recovery_Warriors_CTA_NEW.jpg" style="" draggable="true"><img src="https://kajabi-storefronts-production.kajabi-cdn.com/kajabi-storefronts-production/file-uploads/blogs/2147503454/images/401c054-6f4-fc0d-844d-e6c8088e384_Red_Road_Self-Care_Guide-2.png" style="" draggable="true">
