Transmuting Addiction and Toxic Positivity

  Our time in Active Addiction was most likely the most negative time in our lives. What we have learned from this is that we can’t always turn a blind wye to our problems. Yes, I am a firm believer in “Where attention goes energy flows,” but that doesn’t mean to completely ignore past traumas or bad things that have happened in our lives. A lot of times we need to forgive ourselves so that we can truly get over it and move on. Transmutation is when we take something and turn it into something else. In the case of addiction, we get sober, forgive ourselves, and then transmute the addiction into something good. We can be examples to  others who haven’t yet gotten sober and are feeling hopelessly lost in addiction.  Sobriety is possible and we are living proof of it. We are living proof that you can take the  worst thing that ever happened to you and turn it into something good, and then be inspirations to others.
