“Do you know Bill W?” Is such a nice way to be like “I’m an addict, are you an addict too? Let’s talk“ because you’re not disclosing your SUD to the world but rather just your brothers and sisters in recovery. And it’s just. It’s nice to have that. That little piece of privacy
And I want to talk about privacy in recovery. Because a lot of people want it to be private… it’s shameful. I get it. But I feel like I need to talk about it because I have a platform. People listen to me. People look up to me. And while there’s some times that I do want privacy in my recovery, it’s far more important to me to be open and honest and transparent. I want everyone to know that I will always be a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to you if you need it. I’m not a counselor. I’m not a therapist or psychiatrist, but I am someone that will listen to you if you need someone to talk to.
