Imagine, if all you saw was negative consequence after negative consequence, what would you think about yourself?

We are going to begin to show you the truth.

We know addiction. we know what suffering feels like. And if we know the truth about addiction, then we know that the fact that you use drugs and alcohol is not really the problem, it is an attempt at a solution to a problem. We know you are not broken, your brain is just malfunctioning, and you mind is just clouded by a false reality. You are capable of anything you put your mind to:
That you’re bigger than addiction
That you’re stronger than setback
That you’re recovering
One of the biggest misconceptions about addiction is that people that suffer from addiction are less than other people, or are less capable than other people, or are somehow inadequate or inferior
This is garbage.
You’re gonna see what you overcame
And what it took you to overcome those things.
And you’re gonna recognize again how powerful you really are, and the fact that You’re not your addiction, you’re not broken, weak or powerless. You are a warrior, strong, capable, confident, determined, and resilient.
