You Already Know How to Develop Extremely Powerful Self-Control

You can achieve the goals you have set out in your life plan if you provide yourself the reasons, structure and supports to achieve and strengthen your self-control in a new direction.

You exerted extreme self-control when you were using, you got up even when you were tired and sick as a dog to find another hit.

Now you know you can get to group on time even when you are tired or feeling sick so you can get the skills you need.

You exerted self-control in setting aside time to plan ahead to have enough alcohol to get you through the long weekend.

Now you know you can plan ahead to lose weight and find motivation to get to Yoga and to the weight room.

Think about it, if you could exert self-control to stay in the addiction life style, you still have the self control skills, they aren’t gone.

You Have Self-Control

You have exhibited self-control that other people only dream of having.

The difference is you used them for the wrong goals and for the wrong value system.

You made a mistake.

Now, clarify your vision and goals and set up the structures so you will succeed.

You found dealers, now find mentors.

You helped someone inject, now help the person next to you at the table to clarify their goals.

You found the self control to manage an addiction, now you have no excuse not to use those skills for something else in your life
