“You can’t fight demons with demons. You fight demons with Angels.”
April 3, 2022: was rock bottom. I began journaling 2 days later, and haven’t stopped since.
April 5-10, 2022:
Relapse is a greater possibility if you do not shift from Addictive State of Mind (angry, blaming others) to Recovery State of Mind (I am not a bad person, the addiction makes me a bad person. Focus on the journey with proudness and acceptance; not on anyone else’s which I cannot control)
Relapse = Rethink
Non-judgmental curiousity is the gateway to limitlessness
Drinking and exercise: extremes exercise compliments extreme drinking. It does not offset it. Extremes stick together
Post Acute Withdrawal Symptoms (PAWS) - find endorphins from new, adaptive sources, not from drinking
“You can’t fight demons with demons. You fight demons with Angels.”
