When I allow myself to believe I am more than my impulses, I receive the energy I need to free my body from addiction.
I know that ridding myself of addiction is a lifelong challenge, but I also know that it gets easier to hold at bay the longer I continue to resist.
Those days when I feel like I can barely hang on, I am strengthening the inner muscles of my mind and spirit so that similar challenges in the future will not seem as difficult or draining.
Each temptation is an inner workout.
I acknowledge the muscle burn, but I forge on because I know that doing so is the only way to build up my strength.
I am confident that success leads to more success.
Freeing myself from addiction is like running up a winding, rocky road.
I push through the exhaustion and take the next step because I know that each time I do, I am a little closer to my goal.
I am not afraid to ask for help.
Just as athletes have trainers, I also take advantage of those people who are able and willing to support and encourage me as I tackle this challenge.
For my advisors, I choose people who know what it’s like to struggle and stretch, to grow and win, so that I may use their wisdom to overcome my challenges.
How often do you believe, and act on the belief, that standing strong this time will make it easier to do so next time?
How do you make use of others out there who can support you and help you strengthen your inner muscles?
