MOTIVATION TO GET AWAY FROM ADDICTIONS

It doesn’t matter what your addictions are. The only thing that matters is
that you are willing to find ways to overcome them. You need to find the
right motivation before you plan on quitting or you will never make it. In
fact, if you aren’t strong enough to recover most people will end up falling
off the wagon and hitting their addictions harder than ever. You don’t want
to put yourself in jeopardy. You just need to relax and find something inside
of you that will give you the motivation from going back to the addictions.
You need the motivation that comes from within yourself, as well as, the
support of others for you to make it on your own, addiction free. Most of
the motivation that you will find will come from within yourself. If you don’t
think that you have to quit for yourself, then you will never quit. You have
to make sure that this is something that you want for yourself. You will need
to make sure that it is something that you want to do not because you feel
pressured or forced to do. If you really are committed to your rehabilitation
then you will begin to find more inspiration to help you want to recover.
The first step is hard, it’s saying “No”. The second step is even harder. The
second step means you have to say no forever.

To find the restraints that you will need you will have to begin to lean on
your sober and clean friends or family and then also on things like the arts
or activities that you may become interested in. Then once you find
something that you can do instead of the addictions you will go stronger
and motivated to make a clean and sober life for yourself. However, not
everyone has a problem with staying clean and sober, some addictions do
not go around drugs.

There are other things like sex, the internet, and gambling addictions that
might be a problem. In these cases you will find strength in the people
around you and you may want to get a therapist to help you cope with the
cravings and with the addiction. Motivation comes from so many things and
you will find many objects that help you from destroying your life. There
are so many things that you need to open yourself up to so that you can
find motivation to get away from the destructive behavior.
Once you are able to get a grasp on life and reality you may want to think
about some of the things that motivate you to stay clean. Things like your
friends, family, and hobbies can be a big part of your recovering, but you
need to learn how to pin point what motivates you so that you don’t feel
the need to go back to the gambling or whatever your addiction might be.
Once you find a little bit of motivation that keeps you from the addiction,
you will need more things.

Things that will give you the strength to stay clean and away from your
addictive behaviors and the only way you can do this is if you learn how to
motivate yourself and to be influenced by the positive responses that those
around you give to you in support of your recovery.
Support from friends and family is ‘where’ you are going to get the courage
and strength to continue your recovery. You are going to need the support
the most when you feel the need to slip up, but by using the motivation
that you get from others and from yourself you should be able to recover
without any slip outs.
