She didn’t hold back. And let it all out. “I couldn’t wait to get to this point in my recovery so I could go to work. Now I hate my job.” Her words came fast, hot with frustration, and she shared how a moment with a coworker turned into what she felt was an unreasonable conversation with her boss.
And yet—she didn’t yell. She didn’t curse. She didn’t storm out. In the past, she might have lost her job and said way too much.
Instead, she used her recovery skills and tools taught to her from her nine months in rehab. The ones she’d been stacking up like bricks in her journey—tools from classes, prayer, breathing, and walking it out (literally).
