perfectly imperfect

May 23, 2021
Recently I was in a recovery program trying to find myself after a 20 year battle with active addiction. The more I begin to learn about my character defects I start to realize that I was trying to fix an internal problem with external things. One of my biggest defects was being a perfectionist and never feeling like I was good enough. Why wouldn’t I feel that way? I was putting unreasonable expectations on myself by thinking I could ever be perfect. My roommate in the program was receiving Zox straps from his girlfriend for motivation while he battled his own demons. Her being the wonderful person she is had heard a little of my story from my roommate and sent me the Perfectly Imperfect strap and it meant the world to me. That strap reminds me everyday that I am perfect just the way I am no matter how imperfect that may be. This strap also reminds me that being imperfect is ok as long as I give my best effort and despite the outcome I am good enough not being perfect. I live my life by this strap now and have purchased the same strap to help others as this helped me in my darkest hour. At the time in my recovery this was the inspiration I needed to keep moving forward and never look back. I am now 10 months clean, sponsoring 3 people and taking courses to become an Certified Addiction Counselor so I can help others in recovery fighting the disease of addiction. I purchase Zox straps in the hopes of inspiring someone else the same way the Perfectly Imperfect strap inspired me. Thank you so much for all that you do and stand for. You made a huge difference in this recovering drug addicts life and will make a huge impact on many more lives with your products. I am now a lifetime customer and will always look to Zox when I need to help others.
