The following is not a brag. It’s a fact.
Everyone’s traumatized. Some worse than others. You can’t quantify it.
Yet some of us don’t use substances to cope with life. Again, not a brag. Just think about someone coping and instead of being numbed out, what if they were like 92% present?
It’s not worse. But it hurts worse. And you remember it all much longer.
Like hitting someone with a metal baseball bat when they have a Kevlar shield on versus none at all.
Yeah, that’s probably a more minor bruise.
