Stay the Course
The ever changing landscape of addiction can be rather daunting. At first it’s beautiful, sunny, perfect weather and no storms. We are just enjoying the weather
Eventually though, the inevitable happens.
Storms start to come through.
What do we do when this happens? Often times addicts and alcoholics will let this turn into an excuse to drink or drug. Rather than looking at the situation as an opportunity, we can look at it as oppression. “Why did this have to happen to me?”
We can’t let that happen. When life smacks us in the face, which it will. I promise. We need to be able to look at it through sober eyes. Ask yourself:
- how can I grow through this situation?
- Will I grow mentally, physically, spiritually?
- What is God or The Universe trying to show me?
- Once I get to the other side of this situation, what might I have learned
Let’s start handling life circumstances differently. Let’s not use them as a reason to pick up. Let’s look at life circumstances as opportunity rather than oppression.
LETS STAY THE COURSE
