For years I couldn't figure out how to live free from a drug, alcohol, and pornography addiction.
I hated it, but it was my "go to" when it came to numbing the unaddressed pain and forgetting about the mess that my life had become.
One of the biggest things that provoked me to face my demons was I knew that I would never live out my real potential while trying to manage my addictions.
Here are some questions to ask yourself that can start a different internal conversation.
1- Do you think you will be able to live out your true potential with your current addiction?
2- When you're 80 how do you want people to remember you and the life you lived?
3- How much money are you spending on the slow ruin of your life on a monthly basis?
4- How could you better be spending that money?
5- Are you mentally and emotionally available for your loved ones while in active addiction?
I began to think about these things as my addictions ate away at me like slow motion suicide.
I understand as much as anyone that it's not the easiest thing in the world to quit, but life is waiting for you. God is for you and wants to help, and he wants to help you have a real and satisfying life! A life with real relationships, peace, fulfillment, and the ability to be present and pursue your dreams.
