Overcoming Your Addiction

There are so many things that many of us want to overcome in life. Some of us may have the fear of heights, the fear of drowning, the fear of flying, the fear of driving over bridges, the fear of sobriety and the fear of overcoming addiction.

For most of these fears many of us may make a visit to our Doctor and ask if there are any cures or if there are any medicines that can help with these fears.

Two of the above fears, Doctors may not be able to help with in my opinion and they are the fear of sobriety, the fear to be sober, and the fear you may have inside of you to overcome your addiction.

We tend not to let go of our addiction or basically surrender to it, all due to fear that we may not be able to survive without our crutch that we have carried around with us for so many years.

Please don't be afraid to make this most important change in your lives. This change of life will indeed SAVE your life, and save your family life as well. If we set our minds into the positive mode, we will accomplish this goal to get sober, and we will get our lives back that were taken from us by these horrible addictions.

Would you like to be able to continue seeing sites like the picture above in your future years of life? If you answered yes to that very simple question then I would suggest that you take a good look at the way you are living your life right now.

Just imagine loosing that moment walking the beach with your spouse or just alone all due to being not able to quit drinking alcohol or doing drugs. Both of these horrible addictions will sooner or later catch up with you. They will take over your body and minds and ruin your life as well as ruining your family as well.

In my opinion, if you have a death wish for yourself, then, continuing to abuse alcohol and using drugs should pretty much help out granting your wish.

Overcoming an addition of any sort is basically up to the person that is addicted. What I mean by this is, if you are not ready to surrender to your addiction you will be struggling and fighting this addiction for the rest of your lives.

It takes a very strong willed person to be able to defeat their inner demons and live a life of sobriety again.

I personally think that these addictions could be one of the two hardest things to conquer. Fear of flying, drowning and heights can be overcome by one of two ways.

First, see your Doctor and maybe he/she may be able to give you medication to ease the fear for the moment you may need it.

Secondly, if your afraid of heights, stay off ladders and avoid things that would be related to any heights. If you are afraid of drowning then I would just recommend staying out of the water. If your are afraid of flying as I am, just don't fly.

Sure these are just simple fixes to the fears in question, but there is no simple fix to overcome drug addition and to overcome alcohol addition.

These addictions have to be dealt with by the person with the addiction and that person only. You are the only one that can correct and change the life that you lead now.

So, the bottom line here is, if you truly want to change your life for the better you must surrender to your addiction and don't ever look back. Promise yourself that you will never pick up a drink and do another drug for the rest of your life.

With this promise to yourself, and starting and staying positive in everything you do, you will have the upper hand over your addiction.

You MUST believe in yourself and and be willing to keep your promise to yourself in order to conquer this addiction in your life. As I have said before, our brains and minds are more powerful than we think and you are the only one that can control them, so tell yourself that you have had enough and you surrender.

Once you have done this, you will see just how easy the recovery can be. Sure you will go through many different feelings, urges and craving during the beginning BUT DON"T GIVE IN TO YOUR DEMONS! Fight them until you win and when you finally have won you will be the happiest person alive, believe me it works.

God bless all those who have fault for their freedom to become clean and sober and leave there demons behind forever.
