Letter To Myself

Dear Justin,

I hope this letter finds you in a moment of stillness, a pause where you can truly take it in. You’ve been through a lot, and yet here you are—choosing to face life with courage and vulnerability. That’s something to be proud of.

I know there are moments when the weight feels too much, when the questions outnumber the answers, and when apathy creeps in, whispering its lies. But remember this: you’ve already shown yourself that you can choose differently. Each time you choose clarity over chaos, connection over isolation, you’re proving your strength.

Your journey isn’t just about sobriety—it’s about learning to live authentically, with love for yourself and others. It’s about recognizing your value, even when it feels hard to see. You are more than your struggles. You are more than your past. You are the choices you make today, and every day forward.

Take a moment to celebrate the wins—the big ones and the small ones. The moments you got out of bed when you didn’t want to. The times you reached out instead of retreating. The meals you cooked, the lists you wrote, the laughter you shared. These are the threads of a life being rebuilt with care and intention.

And when the hard days come—and they will—hold onto your breath. Hold onto the truths you’ve discovered in stillness, in reflection, in moments of grace. Remember that the struggle is not forever, but the love you’re uncovering within yourself can be.

You’re not alone in this. You have the tools, the people, and the wisdom to navigate what lies ahead. Trust that. Trust yourself.

With love and unwavering belief in you,
Justin
