RE: This Stays Between My Higher Power And I

in #life6 years ago

Addiction is real thing. And it can come in many forms and shapes. One way to tackle addiction is to have an honest conversation with oneself. You can ask yourself.

"Why am I doing this?"
"Why do I need to continue doing this?"
"How did all this start?"

Find answers and work your way back to a state of mind and place when you were free of addiction. 🚘 It is possible and it works. Because I walked this path (without going into detail about my addiction since I don't like to talk about it nor think about it).

Other ways to go about is to find someone you trust and confide your addiction to him/her. This is for people with low self-esteem and those who genuinely need a helping hand and guidance. 🎯

And once you are out of the addiction cycle, arm yourself to not relapse and get back to it. Anyone can break free from addiction, and they need to believe in themselves. 🙂

Hey thank you so much for your sweet and long reply!
It means more than you know!💛
So true that it comes in many forms and shapes.
It's crazy how it affects way more people than we think it does.
It also doesn't help that most of the time we don't tell anyone.
But ya it's a tough world and everyone goes through something.
But thanks so much for putting yourself out there and sharing powerful advice!💙 one love! xox

Well, there is a stigma to addiction and mental health, and you can't really blame people who don't tell anyone. But we are humans and we are social beings. We should not keep all our thoughts to ourselves (especially the negative ones). 🙄
