To the person that needs to hear it…

I commented this to someone else but thought it’d be good to share with all,

You can’t change until you’re ready and you won’t be ready until you’re willing. Right now and forever it will always be up to you. You first have to stop being your own worst enemy and stop trying to make too much sense out of it all. If you truly are an addict then you need to accept that, as much as it hurts you and makes you feel less than. That is the stone cold truth we’ve all had to face and accept. Only then can you truly begin the healing process. Sure some of us addicts are worse off than others and some of us are in a bit of a better place in our addiction but all that reaching changes nothing. An addict is an addict is an addict. Until you can accept and claim who and what you truly are I’m afraid you’ll just keep dragging out your fight. Just know that it’s actually possible to walk off that battle field and not have to fight anymore. It’s your choice and you have to do the work by yourself. Others will help but it’s all up to you.

Sending my love, respect and support to all my recovering addict brothers and sisters. Never give up because you’re worth it and someone loves you!

We will walk with the addict,
Not for the addict.
The lie is dead we do recover.

Dude!!! Nailed it! This is going to help someone for sure.

It’s true you don’t have to do the work by yourself. People will help you. You just need to be willing and open minded.

Thank you. Sometimes I like how my thoughts come out when I have time to think

Thanks Mike! The goal of recovery is to live a happy and fulfilling life. It’s going to take some work, but the results are life changing. For those of my brothers and sisters that have issues with the words addict or alcoholic, I want to leave the door open to you to join a recovery program as well. You’re here because you are having problems with these substances and they are having a negative effect on your life. The same words in Mike’s post apply to you as well. “Just know that it’s actually possible to walk off that battlefield and not have to fight anymore. It’s your choice and you have to do the work by yourself. Others will help but it’s all up to you. Never give up because you’re worth it and someone loves you”. May everyone find their way to peace and happiness​:pray::peace_symbol:

Hope it reaches and speaks to someone

Thank u
