• Somewhere House

First day!

It can often be nerve wracking stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things, but sometimes facing your anxieties and challenging yourself can lead to some great experiences and opportunities. When I came into treatment - I was scared of my own shadow and hardly left the house.  But as I spent more time in treatment I slowly began to try different things, I began to volunteer in the community, worked on a farm , a food bank, a church and a theatre, doing things I would  never have imagined doing, all of the time meeting new people and gaining more confidence.  I am now in my 2yr of recovery and continue to try new things and challenge myself - I am writing this on my first day, of  working in the office of my new job at Somewhere House , am I nervous being the 'new boy' ?- yes ,a little. will I keep going.?...definately !!  Don't be afraid to keep challenging yourself, keep going, it's worth it.
