Category: changing self-defeating behaviors

The concept of altering or modifying something is just another blessing of recovery. It's the freedom of choice, something that was lacking in our addiction. This ability to choose allows us to change our old behaviors, attitudes, and actions and begin the process of inner healing through recovery.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-is-altering-from-within/></div>

Is Long-term Recovery Your Goal? marilyn l davis from addict 2 advocate

Posted on March 3, 2018March 16, 2021  

We carry out recovery as a goal, much like any other goal.  Want a new car or house and cannot simply write a check?  Then you know that you will have to save money to carry out the goal. Want a better opportunity for a lucrative job?  Then you know that you need either a college degree or specialized training to help this goal. All of these goals take incremental actions to define and bring about your stated goal.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/is-long-term-recovery-your-goal/></div>

Any wall you will face in the future will feel a lot smaller, and a lot less in<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-life-happens-side-wall/></div>
