  1. No part of this addiction will heal the emptiness inside of me. I knew it, but now I’m beginning to believe it as well, especially now I’m beginning to understand that emptiness.

  2. I can find people who will help me. I don’t have to live like this.

  3. My mother always wanted better for me, and did her best to give it to me. I won’t throw that away.

  1. I am doing things that build myself up.

  2. Giving into the addiction will not give me what I want. It’ll actually take me farther from that.

  3. The difference between a good person who’s a bit of a disaster and a messed up bad person who pretends to be better than they are is that the good person strives for improvement. Even if it sucks to fail.

  1. It’s okay to feel depressed. It’s not forever. I don’t have to fix it with bad things.

  2. People love me, even though I feel alone. People can’t be available 100% of the time and that’s okay, they still love me.

  3. Even if I don’t accomplish everything I’m not a failure. I had to spend more energy on fighting through my head today, so I didn’t have enough for other things. It’s still a worthwhile use of energy.
