Day 85 Sobriety:Reflections on Amsterdam, Addiction, and the Impact of Words| Tom MacDonald's 'Names

@TomMacDonaldOfficial
On Day 85 of my sobriety journey, I delve into a challenging chapter of my past, recounting a trip to Amsterdam that was meant to celebrate my impending journey to Sri Lanka but ended in isolation, addiction, and deep shame. Despite having saved up and paid off debts, I found myself in a dark place, realizing that substance abuse only led to further despair.

In today's video, I also explore the power of words versus actions. Having grown up in Sweden amidst racial prejudices, I became desensitized to hurtful words, focusing more on people's actions. However, this perspective shift came with its own challenges, as I had to learn the impact words can have on others, especially in relationships.

Tom MacDonald's 'Names' provides the backdrop for these reflections, stirring emotions and prompting deep introspection. Each day of sobriety brings new insights and challenges, reminding me of the resilience needed to overcome past traumas and embrace a brighter future.

Join me on this journey of self-discovery and growth, as we navigate the complexities of addiction, relationships, and the power of words. Thank you for your unwavering support and understanding.
