Reasons for fighting

Life in Recovery
324

  1. I can do this. I can and I will.

  2. I want to function better, I feel like I’d be proud of that.

  3. Whatever I didn’t accomplish today is okay, because I’m devoting energy to this.

325

  1. I think walking into a new phase of life will be a good thing. I think I’ll be a lot happier.

  2. I might like to imagine my actions have no consequences, but in order to create meaning I need to affect the world in the small way I can. And it’s okay if it’s in an average boring way. Even average can be extraordinary in the right frame.

  3. My hands are hurting so often now. I’d like to just rest them. Let them heal.

  1. Things going wrong does not mean the end of the prospect of happiness in my life. There is no good in that “might as well”.

  2. I have goals to complete. I can’t afford to be held back by this

  3. There are solutions to try. There are ways to cope that are better. Giving up is not an option.

327

  1. The comfort in helplessness is an illusion. Giving my choices up and living in denial will not keep me safe. I have to choose in order to change for the better. I’m still chasing happiness.

  2. I have a dream of who I want to be. That dream does not include this addiction.

  3. The self pitying I’ll do after will drain the already low emotional energy I have. It isn’t worth it.

My family! I wanted to be strong and reliable for my family…I look at myself every sober day and know that I am demonstrating this to them…I love them so much and this what they deserve…:grin:

  1. My best friend loves me. My brother loves me. My sister in law loves me. People love me and want me to be okay. Sometimes when I’m hurting they’ll help me. They deserve my best for pulling me through my worst.

  2. I have hope for nice things in my near future. I’d like to see if I’ll get them, and if they’ll make things nicer.

  3. I did good things today and I deserve to be proud and confident.

  1. I feel like I was too young to really grasp what I was getting into. I don’t want my history to tear me down forever.

  2. Everyone can re train their brains in exceptional ways. I can teach it to stop wanting this.

  3. I miss when “running away” was my go to escape plan. Not destroying my life through addictive behavior.

  1. Relying on God more helps me in other areas besides this.

  2. I’m going to be around baby cousins and they deserve someone they can trust.

  3. I’ve recently begun wanting more things to call Mine. To know I worked and succeeded enough to own them. To have them I need to work and succeed, not bury myself.

  1. When I’m clean I can endure struggle periods better, like right now.

  2. My mom wants me to be okay. I know it. She put so much into helping me. I don’t want to waste that, I want to do something with it.

  3. I caught a glimpse of another life I could have, one more exhilarating and free feeling. I would lose all of that over this. I need to clean up before I make something like that a part of my life.
