Hey guys some of you may have see my posts sometimes throughout my journey and some may not yet. My name in Luke and I’m 28 years old from Sydney Australia and I just wanted to make another post to say thank you to OCD Recovery and the coaching.
I’ve been dealing with OCD for about 4 years and have been in recovery for just under a year now. Before starting coaching, OCD had a massive impact on my life and I felt really stuck and overwhelmed a lot of the time, a few months in I would think of my old self and honestly cry about it I just wanted things to go back to normal.
Being in OCD recovery the time I have and having Sam there helped me understand OCD properly and gave me direction when I didn’t really know what to do anymore. It made a big difference having someone who actually understood OCD and what it’s like to live with it.
Recovery hasn’t been easy and it definitely hasn’t been quick, but the support helped me stay consistent and has kept going even when things felt hard or confusing < this was overwhelming at the start but over time I’ve noticed real changes in how I react to OCD and how much putting in the effort and listening to Sam has impacted my day to day life.
OCD still shows up sometimes, but now I’m a lot better at handling it instead of getting caught in the same loops that kept me stuck for so long. I’m really grateful for the support and just wanted to share my appreciation for the coaching and the help I’ve received, if your struggling or sitting there thinking about starting recovery your honestly making the smartest decision of your life, press the button don’t wait as long as I did you are in the right place. Something that’s has always kept me going is that Sam would often say “Your future self is cheering you on” DONT LET YOUR FUTURE SELF DOWN!! recovering is waiting for all of us we just need to make the effort.
Again thank you to Rob and all the coaches for all the content they provide in the WhatsApp groups the consistency is amazing and I really do appreciate it.
I could make this types of posts all day because imagine losing your life then getting it back that’s what it’s starting to feel like to me my appreciation will never go away for OCD recovery.
PS I’m on a cruise right now and I booked this because existential OCD made me wanna LIVE!!! I also have a helicopter ride tomorrow and I would have never booked something like that without OCD, OCD may feel like it’s taking life away from you at the moment but in time with recovery you will start to appreciate it like I do!!!
