Had a major reality check this morning. Kinda humbled me a bit. I woke up for the first time in 6 days and immediately had the thought in my head that, I’m sick and I need to remember where I put my drugs so i can feel “normal” and start my day. No, I don’t have any drugs but it has been a daily thing for me for so many years that it truly bothered me. I told myself for about 10 minutes I’m not as sick as I think I am. I was able to overcome the mental idea that I’m way more sick than I actually am and I’m ok now. It’s amazing how strong the mind can be. Anyway, as I just went through a reality smack to the face… I hope you all realize that mind over matter is a very true, intense, and real thing. You can overcome the tug of war that lives in your brain. My biggest motivation is constantly reminding myself of the reasons I started on my way to becoming free from drugs.
Hello @Lise i just wanted to thank you for the post, i face that problem when i try staying sober a few days! Its almost like my mind involuntary makes the decison to say, “okay been a few days and your tired, go get it” and within a blink of an eye there i go using again. After reading your post i will definitely try your method and hope that itll work for me as it did for you!
@Oliverjava, I love what you said about the “yets”… it’s so true. @Gil4sobriety90, I truly hope it helps as it has so far for me. I pray it carries us along the way!
