THE SALTBURN RECOVERY COMMUNITY

It wasn’t until I realised that I belonged to myself and figured out what my values were, what I wanted from life, what my purpose is and the like, that I found my community in recovery, really its based on the usual scenario its a spiritually imperfect outlaw tribe with heart. A non conformist dream of a spiritual anarchist. I'm still kind of new to the community I've found myself in. I've known most of my current friends for less than a few years, but it feels like a homecoming having them in my life. We are starting to gain an understanding of each other, we support each other and as friends, we belong together. Sometimes you have to lose yourself to find yourself It can be scary doing this. You may have to go against the wishes of your parents, loved ones or even religion to follow your dream. But your dream is spirituality calling you. And once you realise it, you will be home - within yourself and with those who understand you. Instead of believing what you believe because someone told you to, you will believe what you believe because you have your own life experience on which to base your beliefs.

This is the path of realisation - to believe what you believe because you have worked it out for yourself, and to find out what it feels like to truly belong to yourself - and then find the tribe where you belong. You fit into the jigsaw of life.You find your niche. When you belong to yourself, you are no longer mad at parents or loved ones who don't understand you. You are free to understand them as they are, because you don't need them to see you, because you see yourself. You're free to come to an understanding unconditionally and not let their judgments dictate your path. Ask the power greater than you to show you how you can belong to yourself. The answers will reveal themselves and your perfect group of friends, colleagues and allies will emerge.
