Some say, " You take a drunken jackass and sober him up, and what you have is a sober jackass"
It takes alot of courage and effort to find real recovery not only from our addictions, but from those thing's that brought us to addiction.
Us lot ...recovering addicts are not special, except in our inability to handle those thing's most people handle all their lives, without seeking an easier, softer way...is that something to be proud of...copping out at every turn??
Addiction can be an explanation, but it's not an excuse.
Deep down, I think most recovering addicts want to be decent, self respecting and contributing members of society. However, until you give up your self- sabotaging ways ...it ain't gonna happen baby.
Cheating yourself out of wonderful experiences and healthy relationships becomes your norm and all you can do is moan constantly of how bad you got it.
The people around you might be able to see your character defects clearly, but until you see them and understand they are a problem, they will continue to destroy your life and those around you.
How do you suppose others see you? What do they say when you leave the room?How do they react when when you name comes up in conversation ? In typical addict fashion you might say..." Well I don't give a flying F**K what these tossers think anyway brahz"
Bu****it, you do care... you want to be liked ... you want to be accepted because that's your default position, your factory settings 😁
Are you the person you want to be, or the person you IMAGINE yourself to be because you an ADDICT? If you think you are the latter, you will or have discovered that it never will be a viable excuse.
Again I will say, addiction may have been an EXPLANATION for your Dick headism but it doesn't EXCUSE IT...capisce😎
Addict's believe they are entitled to be the people they are... rude and crude, entitled,lying cheating , angry and belligerent. And every one in the whole wide universe including the bird's and the bee's should put up with them because their lives have been so TOUGH...boo fu***ng HOO I say 😩
Look around you buddy, life is tough for MOST people. Life is a series of challenges... TRUE??
And if we are to be successful in RECOVERY, we must take a hard look at who we have been and why felt it was okay to be a dick head . You must be willing to do whatever it takes to live life on LIFE'S terms... same like those beige non - addicted Square's out there, you say you never really fitted into that mould...well this would be a good solution to fitting in with the rest of the civilians... soldier 🪖
Convincing yourself that you are "The Special One" because you suffer from addiction and holding on to that attitude for better days so the rest of us must cater to you, make allowances for you or compromise ourselves for you...your royal Majesty 🤣🤣
Part of authentic, genuine from the pit of your gut RECOVERY isn't an attitude... it's Humility. Humility comes through the honest appraisal of your life, of the person you became while indulging in your addiction. Humility is about putting aside your fear and false pride to ask for help, and being grateful for the opportunity to become the person you wanna be.
The wise check their attitude at the door as they step over the threshold to a new way of life. They understand that to be humble is not the same as humiliation which they experienced by the gallon when addicted.There is nothing humiliating about addressing a serious problem, asking for help, and accepting it. If you had cancer you wouldn't hesitate to go to a doctor to ask for help, in order to regain your quality of life.
How different is this? ☮️❤️🙏🏼🇿🇼
