Happiness is something we’re all told to chase—but for many people healing from addiction, happiness can actually feel like a trigger.

Living in chaos for so long, some clients share that when life starts to feel calm or joyful, it makes them anxious. They find themselves waiting for the other shoe to drop. It’s as if peace feels foreign, or worse—like something they don’t deserve.

At Carter’s Counselling, we understand that healing isn’t just about removing substances or changing habits—it’s also about relearning how to live without chaos. It’s about believing you’re worthy of peace, love, and happiness… even if that hasn’t been your reality in the past.

We want you to know this: you do deserve happiness. You can feel safe in calm. And you aren’t alone as you learn to accept and embrace a life without chaos.
