Last fall, when my partner and I decided to get sober, we did some nature rituals. For example, we went to the park, wrote our resentments and things that no longer serve us on leaves with sharpies, then placed them in the stream and watched them float away in a symbolic act of release. One of the leaves had our drug of choice written on it—we released that one together. This ritual was invaluable to our recovery journey ☯️🦋💜✨
