Recovery: A Choice; Addiction: A Curse -- Or is Addiction a Choice?
1. Recovery Is A Choice
Recovery is a choice and an amazing opportunity to exceed limitations. As a recovery coach at DrugRehab.expert, I firmly believe recovery is a new beginning.
However, until an individual struggling with addiction or alcoholism chooses to accept help and choose recovery, it can feel like an uphill battle.
Trying to convince someone to stop drinking is like fighting a grizzly bear.
That is a fight that is often lost and not an easy task.
That's why as a recovery coach, it's important to offer recovery in a different way. Instead of focusing on the negative consequences of addiction, such as hangovers and poor health, we can also highlight the idea that addiction is a curse, like slavery. Being out of control of one's own life is like being a slave. This approach may not immediately lead to someone accepting recovery, but it can plant a seed in their mind and open them up to the idea that being in control of their addiction could be a better choice -- even if they're a slave.
Addiction is usually not their first choice, but rather a consequence of prolonged excessive drinking. Few choose to be an alcoholic, but rather it is a destination reached through regular excessive drinking. They signed up for the pleasures, not perpetual dependency aka slavery!
Let's shift the perspective on addiction as a disease to getting a drinker to consider that every part of their lives is a choice. Now we can empower individuals to take control of their addiction and make the choice to seek help and choose recovery. A recovery coach can help guide this process and offer support along the way. Choice is a different perspective, but not new, in the #addiction field.
Before we consider choice, lets consider addiction as curse.
Recovery is a Curse; Arguing with a Drinker
Premise: Recovery is a Curse. This is the alcoholic's objection to recovery:
Why?
Alcoholic:
"If I forfeit my right to drink and I therefore accept my treatment as a curse, because I cancel my right to freely drink." With the above logic, recovery is the route to alcoholism as a disease via inverse logic. "If I need help to recover, then I'm no longer able to choose to drink." Recovery = a curse. "If quitting drinking or drugging is not something I can do on my own, by my choice, and willingly -- then quitting drinking i.e. recovery is a curse." i.e. someone or something else controls my choices in recovery.
"I believe I lose my freedoms in recovery. I can no longer be free" -- if alcoholism is freedom.
Perhaps we will explore "drinking as a right" as a nugget of wit another time.
How many times have you as a family member or loved-one of an alcoholic person or addicted person, run into recovery objections like that?
I am suggesting that too many family members and even rehab professionals smashed into the above rehab objection and caved-in to the alcoholics wild dramatizations. Do not expect sanity from a person dramatizing destructive behavior, no matter how much fun they say they are having.
Opposites attract, especially in logic. If it's logical, the way to undo a logical trap is to be illogical. If trapped in an illogical trap, the way to undo it is to become logical. There's reverse-logic for you. We can find and even generate workability into these reverse-conclusions; even if it does not make them "right".
However, another way to argue with an illogical person is to use illogic. That's something they can agree with. Illogic.
The way to argue with a logical person is to use logic. That's also something they have to agree to. Logic.
Caveat: just because someone uses logic or illogic does not make them logical or illogical. They may be momentarily sensible or angry or both. You know them by their actions; not by what they utter with words. Determine the truth: Watch what they do, don't listen to what they say.
We have explored reverse-logic and logic above.
Now we can simply consider "recovery as a choice".
Recovery is a Choice
Recovery is my choice, my right, and my destiny.
One way to get onto the right foot, is to begin with a positive affirmative statement. "My recovery, my choice."
Mind-set establishes a starting point to begin. Taking back control of one's own life after addiction moves-in, is a mind-set of self-determination. Momentarily, addiction took over, if alcoholism or addiction ever takes over.
Perhaps our syntax is inadequate to communicate what alcoholism means. For now, let's say alcoholism or any addiction is an un-healthy perpetuating condition of the mind, spirit, and body.
Each part of "us" is affected: body, mind, and spirit.
Body, mind, and spirit are effected.
And body - mind - spirit are all causing or contributing to alcoholism and addiction.
Body, mind, and spirit are causing alcoholism.
Accepting ownership and choice in life is a long standing tradition of responsibility. Let's see what choice looks like in accepting bad conditions.
Recovery is a Choice, So is Alcoholism
"Drinking alcohol is my choice", said every drinker. The problem for some drinkers and users is that accepting "disease" as an excuse to drink, they would have to sacrifice their most powerful objection to sobriety -- that alcohol or drugs or process addiction is no longer something they choose and sometimes control. Every drug / alcohol / process abuser believes that alcohol or drugs or process addiction serves them. They believe and know they could quit whenever they want. It is just that they still want the desired effects that drinking and drugging and process addiction offers them. When they no longer want the desired effects of drugs, booze, gaming, porn, they will try to quit. They wait for the dark curtain to close over their lives -- when they no longer get the pleasure or benefit of their addictive practice. That's when many seek rehab help. It's also when they contemplate ending it. I do not recommend waiting until they 'know' it is time to quit. Quitting earlier is easier.
And now we are back to a grim CHOICE.
WHICH CHOICE?
RECOVERY -- begin a new lifestyle called sobriety,
or
ALCOHOL -- continue a dwindling lifestyle I am familiar with
Who chooses addiction, alcoholism, porn, gaming, etc? Well every person I've spoken with.
They choose their drug or habit of choice -- until they can not stop. Then they say 'it' chooses them, or so they claim. Discovering dependence to a process is a dark-place for every alcohol user. Drinking has been their go-to solution.
Here are some objections and excuses to use:
helps me sleep, keeps me calm, feel good, easier to socialize, can not ____ without it. Need it to cope, function, think, relax, prevent withdrawals, etc. Continuing using is a solution for most of their severe personal problems.
Solutions to Alcoholism and Addictions
Finding where a person is at in their recovery or addiction / alcoholism is the first step. Some users will despise the terms 'alcoholic' or 'addict'. The truth is, they probably are not that bad off. They simply need some help and reassurance of the right ways to get their control, health, and happiness back. But that requires out-side the box solutions. That's where a knowledgeable recovery coach comes in.
What a user really needs are BETTER solutions than using. Everyone I know is attempting to feel or be happy. Happiness is relative person to person, time to time.
Happiness is the sense of accomplishment and knowing one is powerful. Happiness is the signal that "I'm doing it right." Happiness is far more than mere pleasure and good feelings. Temporary pleasure, like when doing a drug or taking a drink, is not happiness, despite the movies, weddings, parties and bar scenes.
The wedding and celebration, that is happiness!
Focusing on happiness is the trick to great recovery coaching. With Anthony, Recovery Coach, a new and different plan is the best option for beginning recovery, or detox. A person can begin resolving an alcohol relapse or a drug-overdose by beginning recovery coaching and staying on the recovery journey.
Recovery is a survival and success choice, and as a recovery coach at DrugRehab.expert, I firmly believe in success. However, until an individual struggling with addiction or alcoholism chooses to accept help and choose recovery, it can feel like an uphill battle. Fighting a drunken grizzly bear is a waste of time. Finding out what he or she is doing being a 'drunken grizzly bear' could get you further. But wait until the hangover, if you please.
That's why as a recovery coach, it's important to offer recovery in a different way. Instead of focusing on the negative consequences of addiction, such as hangovers and poor health, we can also highlight addiction is not the end game; not a curse. Being out of control of one's own life is like being a slave. This approach may not immediately lead to someone accepting recovery, but it can plant a seed in their mind and open them up to the idea that being in control of their current behavior is a choice.
It's also important to note that alcoholism is a consequence of prolonged excessive drinking. No sane healthy person chooses to be an alcoholic, but rather alcoholism it is a destination reached through regular excessive drinking. Addiction is a degraded condition achieved through personal repetitive damages and mind-altering decisions and behaviors. Let's set aside the negatives for a moment.
By shifting the focus and perspective from addiction being a curse, to recovery being the best choice, we can empower individuals to take control of their addiction and make the choice to seek help and choose recovery. A recovery coach can help guide this process and offer support along the way. Before we do, let us tidy up unfinished business.
ALCOHOLISM AS CHOICE -- IF YOU DARE
As a thought-experiment, let's switch the above two premises up -- "Recovery as a Choice; Addiction as a Curse". How about Alcoholism as a Choice. That's different. The diehard alcohol abuser claims recovery is choice ... ok. How about Addiction as choice?
I will by-pass asking for permission from the field of hardened recoveree's and recovering alcoholics. They know alcoholism is not their responsibility. Although I may gain permission if I enquired nicely (I'm Canadian.) That recovery is their choice. Let us use the philosophical latitude, time, and maturity this afternoon to loosen-up from fixed ideas about alcoholism. Let us pause recovery coaching indoctrination and moral ambiguity. Now we can trammel coveted drug abuse dogma. Let's say ...
Premise: Addiction Is a Choice.
No one chooses to be an alcoholic -- or do they? Clearly, few if anyone admits to choosing to be an addict or alcoholic. That's declassee. But, people willingly drink, drug, and process. Even a slave can choose not to act. Lets concede, addiction, alcoholism, porn, gaming: IT IS A CHOICE ! Despite the pain-drive theory crap. Pleasure, success, and survival drives the sane to act. When making powerful survival choices, the rational can reason past withdrawals and regrets.
Addiction is earned, an investment requiring months or years of regular deposits to procure your coupon or "addicted ticket". Eventually, you can own the "addict label". Even if alcoholism begins with your parents, you still have to follow in their well-tread footsteps. To live up to their drinking-tradition and social ethic, you must routinely drink; and then you get to be an alcoholic. Alcoholism is the end destination, the consequence of routine excessive drinking. Addiction is chosen daily and brought into existence.
Many argue with
1. "Recovery is your choice."
They claim, "Recovery is not my choice -- that's what you want for me."
But, they justify and rationalize
2. "Addiction is how I am. I did not choose to be this way."
And yet, some alcoholics would argue by action or in words that, "I decide to drink when I want, and I want to drink -- all the time." An #alcoholic will argue their self-determination about drinking. They can "quit drinking anytime they want." Through 4 rehabs, 6 detoxes, and 2 ODs. I've heard many drinker's state: "I can not control my drinking. That's why I drink. It's my choice."
Accepting the above illogic, recovery is not an option. I trust you are able to quickly jump ahead to this obvious conclusion. If, the alcoholic who chooses to drink, admits they need recovery, they forfeit "drinking is a choice" and invert (reverse logic) and insist that then "recovery is a curse, not their choice." They become liars to themselves as their first step into and toward the truth of recovery. Does not seem right, does it?
More illogic follows the lifestyle of the chronic drinker / user.
People who drink and damage themselves or others have trouble determining causation. Knowing causation is different than unknowing creation. Unknowing causation -- as in: "Someone brought all this booze into my room and I don't remember drinking it all? Must have been me, but I don't remember."
Drinking to black-out is more common than you might think. Drinking to the point of blacking-out eliminates responsibility and takes it away from the drinker.
We are not attempting to be sensible here, just logical according to our current society's ethics. In a free country, "drinking and drugging is my right". Therefore, removing my right to drink by abstaining and choosing recovery, forsakes my right to drink. In this circumstance, rehab becomes a curse for the alcohol user. He has to give up their freedom to be free. So he thinks.
Drinking and Using Starts as a Choice
THE FAMILY EXPERIENCE OF ADDICTION:
Alcoholism can start as a choice and become a curse, plain and simple. This is a widely accepted viewpoint within the medical community and among rehabilitation industry experts. The consequences of addiction, such as cancer, death, broken families, and ruined lives, are all too real and cannot be ignored.
Alcoholism remains a leading cause of death, disease, and family trauma. It's important to acknowledge the devastating effects of addiction, not only on the individual struggling with it, but also on their loved ones. Families of alcoholics often bear the brunt of the damage caused by addiction, and it's crucial to address this issue head-on.
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that addiction never starts as a choice, as many medical professionals claim addiction is not a choice. Addiction is an illness, an investment in months or years of regular excessive drinking. No one chooses to become an alcoholic, it's a destination reached through a pattern of excessive drinking. Even if alcoholism is inherited from one's parents, it still requires the individual to follow in their footsteps and engage in the same pattern of drinking. And that is a disease -- they say.
Recovery is a choice, and it's important to empower individuals struggling with addiction to make that choice. However, it's also important to recognize that addiction starts as a choice, and becomes a consequence of prolonged excessive drinking. It's a choice that becomes a curse, taking control of an individual's life and causing immeasurable harm. By acknowledging this fact, we can better understand the gravity of addiction and the importance of seeking help and choosing recovery.
If addiction is a disease they are not responsible for, we have a problem.
Realizing we are arguing that the person drinking is not responsible, they are affected by a disease, and therefore has to accept recovery also as something forced onto their lives -- something they do not want, we start by loosing. (Refer to AA, 12 Steps: Step 1.)
If you understand the above argument, recovery is not an empowering option at that moment from the addicts point of view. I trust you are able to quickly jump ahead to this obvious conclusion. If, the alcoholic who chooses to drink, admits they need recovery, they forfeit "drinking is a choice" and invert (reverse logic) and insist that then "recovery is a curse." Why? Because if alcoholism is a curse, therefore admitting addiction, they admit they need the remedy of recovery to fix the curse of addiction. Either way, they admit they are trapped, not free, and a victim of both alcoholism AND recovery. Lose -- lose.

Common Sense about Alcoholism
We are not attempting to be sensible here, just logical according to our current society's ethics.
Is "drinking and drugging my right". Or is choosing drinking alcohol ("what's your poison?") or drugs (a known substance that contain damaging effects - called side effects) your right to life, liberty, and happiness?
Choice = Rights. Is that true? Not really.
Therefore, removing my right to drink or use by abstaining and choosing recovery, forsakes my right to drink and use. In this circumstance, being abstinent and going to rehab becomes anti-freedom, non-constitutional and repressive for the alcohol user. Justifications to drink get crazier a person experiences the pain 'go away' or relief from suffering.
And yet ...
People choose recovery for the benefits of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Recovery is a choice, and it's essential to empower individuals struggling with addiction to make that choice. However, it's also important to recognize that addiction seems to be a choice or a consequence of repeating a process behavior. It's a process that eventually takes control of an individual's life and causes immeasurable harm. It's not something that can be easily controlled by willpower alone.
A begin a new life in recovery, a new process should be started. The process of recovery.
Recovery is a survival choice, and it's important to empower individuals struggling with addiction to make survival choice. Addiction ends up as a route towards a faster more miserable death, or disease. Addictive behavior starts as an experiment to try something different, something everyone else has tried before, even doctors do it. Many doctors and nurses become addicts and alcoholics -- I know.
Drinking is not as cool as some think. Actually, drugging and drinking is poisoning oneself, knowingly, from my point of view. Some don't know how bad drugging oneself is, yet.
Every Alcoholic I Knew, Believes the Following:
"If quitting drinking or drugging is not something I can do on my own, by my choice, and willingly -- then quitting drinking i.e. getting help to stop doing what I want to do, is slavery." I lose my freedoms in recovery. Ask what happens when they do not obey the body, the spirit, or the mind's command to "drink" or "use".
A bad solution leads to more bad solutions.
Perhaps we will explore "drinking as a right" as a nugget of wit another time. But not today.
Handling Objections to Recovery
How many times have you as a family member or loved-one of an alcoholic person or addicted person, run into recovery objections like that?
I am suggesting that too many family members and even rehab professionals smashed into the above rehab objection and caved-in to the alcoholics wild dramatizations. Do not expect sanity from a person dramatizing destructive behavior, no matter how much fun they say they are having.
Opposites attract, especially in logic. If it's logical, the way to undo a logical trap is to be illogical. "So you say you can drink when you choose. Then choose to not drink tonight after drinking a glass. Show me so I believe you."
If trapped in an illogical trap, the way to undo it is to become logical. There's reverse-logic for you. "I'm an alcoholic, that's why I drink, I can not stop myself." reply: "So how come you are not drinking when you were hung over?"
While we can find and even generate workability into these reverse-conclusions, it does not make them right.
The right way to argue with an illogical person is to use illogic. That's something they can agree with. Illogic. "I must be crazy." Using illogic, "Yep, you must be crazy." They can agree with that.
The way to argue with a logical person is to use logic. That's also something they have to agree to. Logic. "I can control my drinking." Using Logic, "Yes, you can control your drinking." They can agree to that. See how fast they reverse their position to "not in control of my drinking".
Caveat: just because someone uses logic or illogic does not make them logical or illogical. They may be momentarily sensible or angry or both. You know them by their actions; not by what they utter with words. Determine the truth: Watch what they do, don't listen to what they say.
An Argument For Recovery
An alcoholic's objection to recovery may seem logical, but in reality, it is not. The idea that recovery is a curse because it takes away the right to drink is a flawed and misguided thought. Recovery is not about taking away rights, but rather about regaining control of one's life and breaking free from the grip of addiction -- a condition which will destroy their lives.
Recovery restores the person's innate ability to live, choose, and be happy.
Family members and loved ones of individuals struggling with addiction may encounter resistance when trying to help their loved one seek recovery. It's important to remember that addiction can change the way a person thinks and behaves, and they may not be rational or logical in their thinking.
In these situations, it's important to approach the conversation with empathy and understanding. Using logic and facts to counter an illogical argument may not be effective. Instead, try to understand where your loved one is coming from and address their concerns in a non-confrontational way. It's also important to remember that ultimately, the decision to be free comes from the individual themselves, day in and day out. (Yes, I just compared addiction to slavery.)
It's important to understand that recovery is a choice for freedom, and it's important to empower individuals struggling with addiction to make that choice. It's crucial to understand that addiction is not always their first choice, but a consequence of repetitive behavior that degrades their physical, mental, and spiritual condition and makes it difficult for an individual to control their life. Rehabilitation is freedom from addiction. It is an opportunity to reclaim control of one's life and break free from the decayed condition called addiction. Healthy recovery is the best solution. We can discuss healthy recovery once you start recovery coaching with Anthony at DrugRehab.expert
Let's say alcoholism or any addiction is an un-healthy condition of the mind, spirit, and body.
Each part of "us" is in on the party: body, mind, and spirit.
Body, mind, and spirit are effected.
And body - mind - spirit are all causing or contributing to alcoholism and addiction.
Body, mind, and spirit are causing alcoholism.
Recovery is a powerful choice that individuals struggling with addiction can make to regain control of their lives. It's a decision to take back control of one's mind, body, and spirit and break free from the disease and decay of addiction.
Addiction can be a debilitating condition that affects not only an individual's physical health but also their mental and emotional well-being. It's essential to understand that addiction is a damaging repetitive process that creates disease and changes how the body functions, affecting all aspects of an individual's life.
The process of recovery is not only about abstaining from alcohol or drugs but also about addressing the underlying issues that led to addiction in the first place. It's about healing and improving the functions of the mind, body, and spirit and finding a sense of balance and peace. Recovery is about learning to be and act freely again. Booze and drugs are not tickets to freedom, health, and happiness.
Recovery is a personal journey that generates greater self-determination and a positive mindset.
Recovery is a journey best travelled with a professional guide.
It's essential to remember that recovery begins freely as a choice. But what about people who cannot control their own behavior? Time for rehab and detox, I suggest.
And it's important to empower individuals struggling with addiction to make the best choices. Continuing is not the best choice. Recovery is a choice that can lead to a fulfilling and meaningful life, free from the constraints of addiction. Freedom is not free. It's deserved.
Sacrificing a User's Favorite Objection
There's a new choice. The problem for some drinkers and users is that they would have to sacrifice their most powerful objection -- that alcohol or drugs or process addiction is not controlling their lives. Alcohol or drugs or process addiction serves THEM. They know they could quit whenever they want. It is just that they still want everything that drinking and drugging and process addiction offers them. When they no longer want the benefits of drugs, booze, gaming, porn, they will happily quit.
The dark curtain over their lives closes in when they use and no longer get the pleasure or benefit of their addictive practice. That's when many seek rehab help. I suggest getting them help way before this happens.
And now we are back at CHOICE.
Choosing Your Poison
Who chooses addiction, alcoholism, porn, gaming, etc? Well every person I've spoken with. They choose their drug or habit of choice -- until they can not stop. Later they claim 'it' chooses them. Discovering dependence is a dark-place for every alcohol user.
Recovery is a choice and so is alcoholism. Recovery is a choice that individuals struggling with addiction make to regain control of their lives and break free from the grip of addiction. On the other hand, alcoholism or addiction is also a choice that individuals make out of desperation -- and a lack of better choices (from their point of view.) Actually, alcoholism continues because of the negative consequences of using. Addiction continues because using delays the consequences of experiencing the pain of harmful living. Sedation, alcohol, drugs are all synonyms.
Many individuals struggling with addiction may argue that alcohol or drugs do not control their lives, but rather drugs and alcohol serve them. Feeling the bite of reality, the pain of withdrawals, the bitterness of regret. They say that is too painful. They may argue that they could quit whenever they want, but they still want the benefits, or sedation, that drinking and drugging offers them. However, as they continue to use, their abilities dwindle.
It's essential to understand that addiction is not merely irrationality or personal weakness, it's a consequence of a choice gone crazy. Addictive behavior reverses pleasure / pain triggers and makes it difficult for an individual to experience benefits when they quit. They initially feel pain when they quit and pleasure when they drink or use. But even with this understanding, the choice to seek recovery and break free from addiction is still a personal one. Recovery is a choice to get healthy, sane and successful.
Recovery brings health and success, and it's important to empower individuals struggling with using to make the healthiest and most successful choices. It's crucial to understand that using or drinking is also a choice -- that can lead to a dark and detrimental path. The decision to seek recovery and break free from addiction is a survival decision. Recovery Coaching with Anthony creates new possibilities and puts those opportunities within your reach for your use.

Addiction: A Parasite on Happiness and Potential
Addiction is a curse, more like a virus or a parasite that we invite in. The widely accepted viewpoint within the medical community and among rehabilitation industry experts is "addiction is a disease". The consequences of addiction, such as cancer, death, broken families, and ruined lives, are all too real and cannot be ignored. However, our viewpoint can change outcomes, significantly.
The reality is that routine alcohol over consumption remains a leading cause of death, disease, and family trauma. It's important to acknowledge the devastating effects of addiction, not only on the individual struggling with it, but also on their loved ones. Families of alcoholics often bear the brunt of the damage caused by addiction, and it's crucial to address this issue head-on.
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that addiction is never a choice, but the truth is addictions begin with choices, and proceed into obsessions and compulsions. Drug abuse and alcohol abuse damages us: the result of an investment in months or years of regular excessive use and drinking. Regular and obsessive drug and alcohol use ends in a destination reached through a pattern of routine or excessive days of drinking. Even if alcoholism is inherited from one's parents, it still requires the individual to follow in their footsteps and engage in the same pattern of drinking.
Recovery is also a choice. And it's important to empower individuals struggling with addiction to make that choice; sometimes by massive persuasion. Alcoholism will inevitably end up in disease. However, it's also important to recognize that addiction is not a sane choice, but rather a consequence of prolonged excessive drinking. It's a compulsion and obsession that takes control of an individual's life and causes immeasurable harm. By acknowledging this fact, we can better understand the gravity of addiction and the importance of seeking help and choosing recovery.
Handling Objections to Recovery
An alcoholic's objection to recovery may seem logical, but in reality, it is not. The idea that recovery is a curse because it takes away the right to drink is a flawed and misguided thought. Recovery is not about taking away rights, but rather about regaining control of one's life and breaking free from the grip of addiction.
It's important to understand that addiction is not a personal weakness, but like a viral infection which creates a diseased operation; addictions alters the brain's chemistry and makes it difficult for an individual to control their drinking.
Alternately, recovery is not a curse but a blessing, an opportunity to reclaim control of one's life and break free from the grip of addiction.
Family members and loved ones of individuals struggling with addiction may encounter resistance when trying to help their loved one seek recovery. It's important to remember that addiction can change the way a person thinks and behaves, and they may not be rational or logical in their thinking.
In these situations, it's important to approach the conversation with empathy and understanding. Using logic and facts to counter an illogical argument may not be effective. Instead, try to understand where your loved one is coming from and address their concerns in a non-confrontational way. It's also important to remember that ultimately, the decision to seek recovery must come from the individual themselves.
A better way to approach a challenging alcoholic, drug user, or process addiction is to call and hire a recovery coach professional first. See drugrehab.expert for help.
It's important to understand that recovery is a choice, and it's important to empower individuals struggling with addiction to make that choice. It's crucial to understand that addiction starts as a choice, moves into a obsession, and like a virus replicating becomes a progressive declining condition that alters the brain's chemistry and makes it difficult for an individual to control their drinking. Rehabilitation is not a curse but a blessing, an opportunity to reclaim control of one's life and break free from the grip of addiction.
We have explored the reverse-logic above. Now we can simply consider "recovery as a choice".
Recovery: The Journey
Recovery is the journey from troubled to free and in control. Recovery is a powerful choice to regain control of your lives'. It's a decision to take back control of one's mind, body, and spirit and break free from the grip of addiction.
Addiction can be a debilitating condition that affects not only an individual's physical health but also their mental and emotional well-being and their spiritual sense of self. It's essential to understand that addiction results in disease and disorders that affects all aspects of an individual's life.
The process of recovery is not only about abstaining from alcohol or drugs but addresses the underlying issues that led to, and continues addiction. It's about healing the mind, body, and spirit and finding a sense of balance and peace. The process that got you into addiction is not the process that gets you out of addiction.
Recovery is a new journey.
Recovery is a personal journey that requires self-determination and a positive mindset. It's essential to remember that recovery is a choice for a different lifestyle, and it's important to empower individuals struggling with addiction to make that choice. Recovery is a choice that can lead to a fulfilling and meaningful life, free from the constraints of addiction.
Getting Guidance to Successful Happy Living -- Your Choice
Recovery is a choice and so is alcoholism. It is a choice that individuals struggling with addiction make to regain control of their lives and break free from the grip of addiction. On the other hand, alcoholism or addiction is also a choice that individuals make to continue using alcohol or drugs despite the negative consequences it brings to their lives.
People choose bad paths because they do not know any better.
Many individuals struggling with addiction may argue that alcohol or drugs do not control their lives, but rather serve them. They may argue that they could quit whenever they want, but they still want the benefits that drinking and drugging offers them. However, as they continue to use, they may find themselves unable to stop and may eventually seek help in rehab.
Choosing the best approach to living is true recovery. Choosing recovery is choosing success and growing into the best version of you.
