I feel that communication is one of the most important things in life, let alone in recovery. Without good communication skills it’s impossible to get your wants and needs met. Additionally, without healthy communication a person may feel overlooked or misunderstood. My personality is often taken the wrong way, especially my sarcasm. Sometimes I use humor to try and cover up feeling vulnerable or uncomfortable, and often it’s taken as disrespect or that I’m not taking things seriously. I’m trying to work on my communication skills so people can better understand where I’m at or how I feel about certain things. Words can be one of the most powerful things human beings have at their disposal so learning the right way to use them will help lead me exactly where I want to go in life.
