Tip 96 Alcoholism Dont Make Excuses
One of the big aspects of recovery from alcoholism is learning to deal the problems that the addiction has created. Never make excuses for the alcoholic. Excuses allow the alcoholic to not take responsibility for their addiction or for their actions.
Mental health Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health when you are on the road to recovery. There are three ways that you can implement mental balance in your life:
keep a daily diary of your thoughts and feelings
read material that is educational and enlightening
limit the amount of media that you allow to reach you, such as television
The more self aware you are of all the above areas of your life the more successful youll be in attaining your goals. When you find a balance between your personal and your professional life youll be able to put your focus where it belongs at the right given moment. Its this personal awareness that will give you the confidence to excel at what you love doing and reach your goals. Recovery is all about rediscovering who you are. |
