Being desperate can make us do crazy things, but it can also motivate us to change.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/desperate-thats-motivation-for-change/></div>

Desperate? That’s Motivation for Change

It was at that point that I knew that change was a lifelong job; that it would create fears, uncover aspects of myself that generated and caused embarrassment, but that I would only benefit from my recovery if I went beyond not using to healing the underlying motives that produced negative outcomes in my life. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/changing-you-a-full-time-job/></div>

Those feelings and thoughts about our life were held down rather like a jack-in-the-box - hidden away only by the mechanism of the box, or in the case of our addiction, by our use. Take away the drugs and alcohol, and the feelings come flooding back, seemingly without rhyme or reason. However, emotional memory stores all those old feelings. They are still there.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-all-the-numbed-feelings-pop-back-up/></div>

Addiction Labels: Hurtful, Embarrassing, or a Beginning? marilyn l davis from addict 2 advocate

Labels can hurt, embarrass, or help you start your recovery.

I'll take a saying from the rooms, "progress, not perfection." Progress towards any task, goal, or work is something that we need to acknowledge. We've done it. Are you giving yourself credit when it's done? I certainly hope so.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-start-your-day-with-a-done-list/></div>
