Laughter, in my opinion, is the best medicine. Laughter is so important in my recovery because no matter what the situation is, it expresses true emotion and feelings. Looking back on my addiction, I can say that my laughter had restrictions and wasn’t genuine because I had to mask my true self with drugs just to have a good time. Laughter now feels more natural rather than holding it back with a forced smile as I did in the past. In sobriety, my laughter gives me the feeling of joy and fellowship which in-turn gives me a greater sense of belonging. Laughter is important for everybody. However, to me, laughter is a sign of peace and contentment in my life.
