I had a gambling relapse this week and also the week before
My word of the day today is "Sinner"
As you could imagine, there's nothing to gain by falling into the same trap of addictions, repetitively .
Whether it's gambling or substance abuse, it's a toxic cycle and takes serious commitment and discipline to overcome.
There are therapies and self-help available which I'm aware, however since not so surprisingly what bothers me is that each time I have a relapse, prior to that I made promise with myself that I'm not gonna go through that same crap again knowing how harmful it is. Yet again. Every time a relapse happens, I tear my self-commitment into pieces and lose a large chunk of my self-esteem.
The law of cause effect clearly states that,
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
A person is going to be stuck in the same situation until they eventually decide to learn from it.
Else the process repeats itself and it's a vicious cycle you need to get the fuck out.
See it for opportunity of growth, it's not scary to make mistakes as long as you learn from it.
How long does it take to get a grip?
Have you had enough of it?
This question is to be answered through the test of time.
I will from now on post a subsequent thread to this thread, by every Sunday recording how I get on with relapse prevention.
Anyone who is seeking to recover from forms of addictions are welcome to comment here for self-reflection/ prevention monitoring purposes.
Re-program your brain, seek out and reinforce healthier alternatives to replace harmful habitual patterns and eliminates it overtime.
Every small victory counts towards this long term battle.
I am hereby sending support to everyone who is fighting against their own various forms of addiction.
May you seek out and channel your strength from within, working towards your recovery.
Every small victory counts, but stick to it!
Work on yourself, day in day out, stay away from darkness and walk towards the light!
