Thank you for fighting with us 💪 #FightAddictionStigmas
• Repost from @soberissexyy •
Stigmas of addiction and sobriety are preventing those tormented by addiction from getting the help they need. @LoosidApp has a mission to Fight 3 Stigmas of Addiction & Sobriety.
I’m holding up 3 fingers to help #FightAddictionStigmas & I challenge @humblethepoet @donnasphotographygallery @diedells to stand with me in solidarity & join the #GetLoosidChallenge
Let's show the world that together we support the Addiction & Sober Community! Together we can make a difference!
For someone who’s struggled in life with so much crippling anxiety and depression and covered it up with drinking, cocaine, heroin and meth. I will forever be taking a stand, through my hardest battles in life I felt so alone - but WE are not alone for we have each other. I choose not to be anonymous for those who are still fighting this battle and for those who have lost this battle. For those who don't yet have a voice, there is no reason to be ashamed. We, just like those with cancer, have a disease. I will never stop this fight; I will be a living breathing success of what many said would never happen because a” junkie” won't always be a junkie and it's time we get treated with the same treatment as someone would with any other life-threatening disease. We are not any less human, so why should we be treated like so? I've been treated poorly and looked at differently by professionals in our very own healthcare system, this has to come to an end. If our healthcare can’t stop making judgements how well anyone else. What we need is love and compassion, support and understanding. I got sober because I found a group of people who loved me back to life because I didn't love myself just yet but I could see the hope and light in their eyes. They showed me, it was ok and that I had nothing to be ashamed of, this person who I had become wasn’t” me” and over the passing year and a half, I've realized that this wasn't me. Stop being a part of the problem and define someone by who they are as an individual and not by their illness, skin colour or cultural background
