The only advice I would give to anyone who is struggling with any kind of addiction is something that a very, very dear friend told me once - that the only way around is through. I have really taken that to heart and I try to apply it to my everyday life. It really just means that you have to go through things. You can't beat around the bush and take the easy way out. You have to be OK to admit to yourself that you have a problem first and then it is OK to get help. You don't have to do it alone. You have already got God helping you out and that's the best person to have in your back pocket. You can associate yourself with really good people. Surround yourself with other addicts that are in recovery and put yourself in non compromising situations. It is easier than you think to get the right tools. It is still very difficult to apply the right tools but you know, anybody can do it. Anybody can be sober if you really put your mind to it.

I'm travelling the world now, going to the same countries that I have been to a thousand times but I'm seeing it all for the first time. I never really would want to go out on days off. I would never bring my camera. But now I'm looking at it through sober eyes I am able to appreciate it in a completely different light. Everything is new to me now. page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 >>
