Sobriety vs. Faulty Thinking

Drug or alcohol addiction isn’t just about the physical cravings. Even once you’ve gone through the detox process and completed a treatment program, you will still battle your thoughts and the faulty thinking that made you susceptible to substance abuse in the first place.

One dangerous line of thinking is to believe that your life will never get any better than it is right now. It’s important to remember that you’re only powerless to change your life if you believe that. While you can’t undo the past, you have the power to make positive decisions for the future and to move forward in a different direction. Where you are today isn’t where you are going to be always.

That said, there will be bad times. Even a healthy, clean life will have its troubles. But when you do encounter tough times, keep in mind that they won’t last forever. It’s also important to anticipate problems, and have a plan for dealing with them. Problems won’t catch you so off-guard if you expect them.
