Why This Free Addiction Resource Exists
When the unacceptable quietly became normal, I didn’t realise how far I had slipped.
I am grateful to be sober today — but my path here was not easy.
Recovery became possible only when I finally reached out and found people who understood.
They recognised my thoughts, my hiding, my shame… because they had lived it too.
For the first time, I felt home.
You don’t have to be religious, and you don’t need to fit a certain type.
There are many support groups out there — all different, all valid.
If you need help finding one, I can point you in the right direction.
For me, “Higher Power” simply means the outdoors — energy, waves, stars, the place I feel connected again.
Addiction isn’t a flaw. It’s a survival response.
It’s soothing pain that was never healed.
And it comes in many forms: shopping, gambling, porn, eating, alcohol, drugs…
Society ranks them, but your pain doesn’t need comparing to matter.
These free Serenipaws resources were created to support anyone beginning their journey, or supporting someone they love.
