DaamnKam - ‘Straight outta the Daamn dentist’ - January 26th 2023 - 126 is the proverbial 129 #DTdjø

Thanks so much for reading! The support We’ve gotten has been truly incredible! For Us personally, apprehending Our disease was only possible once We were able to shed the stigma that We’d unintentionally stapled onto ‘mental-illness’. Believing all Our problems arose from Our disease of #addiction - viewing any perspective diagnosis (#bipolarawareness) as a weakness / - We are man! Brought up by the Schwarzenegger handbook!!) #Daamn if We didn’t have a lot to learn…
Just as We couldn’t make the move from ‘sobriety’ to ‘recovery’ without first acquiring that honest *desire & *willingness… *remission became an option for Us only after complete *integration!!!!! Owning Our state of mental health, admitting to ‘Self’ that this is a real condition! That, whether by fault or design, genetics or conditions; *Our brain is physically different from most folks, requiring Us to ‘adjust Our levels’ through a medication-assisted-therapy-treatment regimen in order to be operating with what ‘most folks’ already have.
~{Oh how so ‘Hard to swallow’… pardon the pun.}
With nearly 30 months of solid, well-earned, (consecutive) #Recovery from addiction- Keeping Our mental health in check is no different from keeping Our disease in check! If Our #recoveryprogram isn’t all-encompassing then We’re leaving cracks in Our foundation!!! Part of what We’ve learned over 18 years struggling with this #Disease, by FINALLY incorporating ALL of ‘Self’ - into a Program - No longer denying or ignoring any of it! Our ‘Program’ - is - Our ‘Philosophy’! (‘The way in which one internally conducts themselves, *manner of approaching the external world, *set of ethics & morals that intentionally guide &/or unknowingly dictate one’s day to day & grand-scale existence.’)
*RECOVERYisDISCOVERYisRECOVERYisDiscoveryDISCOVERYisRECOVERYisDiscoveryisRECOVERY*
Who knows what We may find out about ‘Self’!?
Who decides what’s actually best for ‘Us’!?
Who determines what’s possible?!
Who creates ‘their’ own reality!?
Who ‘controls’ their Recovery?
#mentalhealthawareness : Because We may not be responsible for Our Disease, but we better Daamn well be responsible for our Recovery! That’s why we’ve created #DaamnTalk (With 2 ‘A’s!) - to talk openly & freely amongst one another - discussing the things generally avoided due to ‘stigma’, ‘controversy’, or ‘political correctness’… Because BOTH of Our diseases thrive in dark, quiet solitude! AND ‘dis-ease’ will diminish when successfully brought into the light!!!!! Thanks for ‘Our’ time & We hope to Talk to You soon! {In the comments!} & of course, wherever else you get social media, you’ll find DaamnTalkDJØ 🙏🙌🏽✊🏼☯️💬
