No one talks about it, but it’s real. That ache… that whisper…
“I miss who I used to be.”

You don’t miss the chaos.
You don’t miss the brokenness.
But maybe… just maybe… you miss the boldness, the numbness, the version of you that didn’t feel everything so deeply.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Rooted & Recovered, Dan dives deep into one of the hardest truths of recovery: you will grieve the old you. And that doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.

This is the grief no one warned you about. Not just the pain of addiction, but the disorientation of healing. When you finally feel again—really feel—it doesn’t always feel like a miracle. It feels like war.

Key Highlights:

  • What if the old you wasn’t evil—just exhausted?
  • Why grief is part of growth—and why you don’t have to go back to grieve.
  • The numbness you miss was never strength—it was survival mode.
  • Recovery isn’t just detox—it’s identity reconstruction.
  • You’re not returning to who you were—you’re becoming who God always saw in you.

Scriptures Covered:
Ephesians 4:22–24 • Romans 6:6 • 2 Corinthians 5:17 • Galatians 2:20 • Philippians 3:13–14

Final Truth:
You can miss who you were without going back to them.
Let the tears come. Let the grief breathe. But then walk forward. You’re not called to resurrect the past—you’re called to walk in the new. And this version of you—the healing, growing, wide-awake version? That’s the version hell is terrified of.
