Gratitude and ADDICTION RECOVERY
Gratitude and ADDICTION RECOVERY.
Sometimes it is hard to get out of bed in the morning. I wake up, look around and just want to go back to sleep. I think about all the hard work I have ahead of me, and decide, momentarily that it would be much easier to just go back to sleep and not have to deal with it. But then I remember, I remember all the things I’ve gotten back so far, I remember all the things I stand to gain, and more importantly; all the things I still stand to lose. I remember the fact that if I stay in bed I will be allowing my addictive tendencies towards avoidance to win, and so I get up. I get up and the first thing I do is remind myself of all that I’ve gotten back, because gratitude keeps me clean. I make a list once a week, and then read it to myself every morning. This week I am grateful that I got 90 days clean, that my mom had a birthday and especially the fact that I sent her a card, that my roommate is really nice, and that we get along, and that my little sister has finally started talking to me again. I know it might sound really cheesy, but the truth is that reminding myself what I’m working for is the best way for me to keep trying. I love all the things I have to day, all the things I no longer have to live with, and most importantly, today I can honestly say that I love myself. visit a drug rehab center for more information Also visit our sponser The Watershed Addiction Treatment Programs.
