Hello, my name is Troy. I am a recovering attic and alcoholic since February 21, 2001 unfortunately I had 21 years of complete torture with alcohol and addiction. Since then I’ve gather tools to help me here just a few when I walk into the store, and I see alcohol immediately shake my head. The reason I do that is I think of my head as a cookie jar filled with bad thoughts by shaking my head, I shake that cookie jar and empty out those negative thoughts. Then I immediately start putting in positive thoughts. By doing this, it allows me to break that psychic mental obsession.

The other thing I do is, I play the tape all the way through. By doing this, I see the negative impact it would have on my life if I pick up a drink or a drug. Then I play the positive tape. If I don’t pick up a drink or a drug, the positive impact it will have on my life and years to come. Not only in my life, but in my family‘s life and the people around me.

Hopefully this helps. God bless you. You can do this

It's funny because at 1st glance this may seem silly to some folks. It took me years unfortunately to pick up some of these little mind tweaks and exercise them enough to realize that it really is that simple if we allow it ro be.

Playing the tape forward has become a regular practice in many decisions I make and now I think to myself, how did I NOT do this so often in the 1st 20 or so years of my adulthood?

Yes, beautiful it works if we work at. And I agree we find things that work for us. Everything doesn’t work for us. We keep what we need and works for us. We leave the rest.

Nobody uses tape anymore, guys.

I agree that’s why I have to pass on the message and hopefully the message continues to save lies.
