There are many forms of numbing that develop into addiction behaviours. It does not need to be alcohol or drugs, it can be food, sugar, electronics and many others forms.
Addiction is characterised by a consuming relationship with a substance or behaviour that is driven by a conscious or unconscious desire to feel something different or avoid that feeling, which can results in a range of harmful consequences to our health or our significant relationships.
Despite the fact that we have done and perhaps still do these self-diminishing behaviours – IT IS NOT TIME WASTED. All those years of pain and struggles that you have endured was the time that it took for you to learn and be ready for what you need to face. IT IS THE DECISION TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER that lead you to the realisation that YOU need to change instead of waiting for OTHERS to finally change and treat you with the love and respect you deserve.
It takes courage and determination to take action and to know what is the right decision for you to make. New tools and gaining awareness and clarity for a life of self-empowerment and self-respect. There is nothing wrong with wishing that you changed sooner but be assured that it is NEVER too late!
We all reach a place where we have to say: “I love and forgive every version of myself that did the best that I could with the awareness that I had.”
