While in active addiction you often can't tell the difference between reality and what your addiction is telling you.
The photo/meme I posted is my reality today. I have taken the liberty of showing you what my addiction was telling me. These things came from my character defects such as low self esteem, trust issues, fear of failure, fear of success and so many more.
The last two surprisingly go hand and hand, but I will get into that another time.
Reality: You can rise up from anything.
Addiction: This is your life now. Accept it.
Reality: You can completely recreate yourself.
Addiction: No one will forget your past.
Reality: Nothing is permanent.
Addiction: This is for the rest of your life.
Reality: You’re not stuck.
Addiction: You will never get out of this.
Reality: You have a choices.
Addiction: Not any more, only me.
Reality: You can think new thoughts.
Addiction: I am all you think about.
Reality: You can learn something new.
Addiction: Whats the point? You’ll just mess it up.
Reality: You can create new habits.
Addiction: Yeah, because that worked out so well for you last time.
Reality: All that maters is that decide today and you never look back.
Addiction: You can't get through a day with out me.
Even if you could- you'd break your neck to watch me and eventually come running back.
As you can see reality is a wonderland with endless opportunities. I don’t think this, I know it. I have been proving it to be true for three and a half years now. You see in the dark head space I was in during active addition every little thing would be a problem. Since getting my character defects in check and gaining a true understanding of the world around me- I no longer have any problems in my life. Now don’t get me wrong, issues pop up all the time and can be inconvenient. However those inconvenient issue are just that. They are issues. It's how I handle those issues that determine whether or not I allow them to be a problem. I handle them correctly by living in my new found reality as opposed to the lies of my past.
