from addict 2 advocate marilyn l davis Is Today the Day I Die? Then Have I Lived?

Posted on March 1, 2020March 2, 2020  

My realization of the value of life was not an epiphany, striking me with profound insight and wisdom on living and dying; more of a learning experience from seeing how many lives ended quickly from addiction, yet how extended many were by recovery. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/are-we-living-our-recovery/></div>

Recovery is Like a Puzzle: Learn to Examine the Pieces marilyn l davis from addict 2 advocate

Posted on January 15, 2020August 6, 2021

I know it's hard to accept responsibility for our life choices. I spent years blaming my parents, bosses, husbands, lovers, and even my children for whatever was wrong. And when we're not blaming, we're trying to get everyone to focus only on our positive aspects.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/when-blaming-others-stops-working/></div>

From Addict 2 Advocate

Posted on July 13, 2017July 19, 2017  

How often do you pay attention to your thoughts?  Have you ever sat back and taken a close look at how your thoughts influence the way you feel, and behave? Have you recognized how you tend to think about your life situations; are you positive or negative about them?  Thoughts are a very powerful thing, and influence your life in unimaginable ways. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-is-changing-those-habitual-thoughts/></div>
