Tip 88 Recovery for Yourself
You should want to recover from your addiction for yourself and for no one else. You need to be in the right head space to want to get well so that you feel better and so that you get your life back on track.
Without the self motivation to recover from addiction you may find yourself failing. Youll find that quitting for someone else can be a good motivating factor but in the long run you need to want this recovery for yourself.
Strengthening your own emotional bank balance means taking care of yourself. There are three aspects to taking care of your emotional bank:
getting satisfaction from something that you do
having positive communication with those around you
doing what you love to do
When you take the time to access how youre feeling and thinking on a daily basis you give yourself the opportunity to relate these emotions to all areas of your life. When you take the time to monitor yourself, and keep your emotions in balance, you empower yourself to feel that inner confidence that is the backbone for so many of your positive emotions and affirmative actions.
Your future is in your hands, and the more tools and techniques that you have for building the future that you want, the faster youll get there.
