Most of us do not talk about the voices in our heads, yet we all have them. Sometimes they are the everyday thoughts that we have turned into the sounds, which sound like the person who initially told them, as in the critical or negative voice. In my head, I have a Mouse voice that squeaks with fear each time I undertake a new beginning, usually followed by the Big Girl voice that encourages the Mouse to take action even when Mouse is afraid. There is also what I call my Librarian Voice, which keeps a record of outcomes. Then there is the Guiding Voice. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/inside-voice-insane-or-intuition/></div>

Our barriers are self-imposed for the most part. That's both good and bad news. Good because it's an attitude within us, and therefore, we can change it. However, that's the downside, too as most of us don't like to feel uncomfortable in our life choices<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/5-common-barriers-change/></div>

The success of your recovery depends on maintaining vigilance or awareness. You've worked hard to give up drugs and alcohol; that's the getting into recovery. If we don't work on our recovery every day, we run the risk of becoming complacent, and that's a dangerous place to be. Are you safe-guarding your recovery today with routines? <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/do-i-have-to-work-on-my-recovery-today/></div>
