Living Sober With Active Addiction Habits

My Sober Addiction

Ever notice how addicts in active addiction always seem to be able to somehow fund their crazy expensive habits? Of course, it’s never enough, but that’s another topic for another episode. Heroin addicts, in particular since that what I’m most familiar with, tend to live in a perpetual mindset of lack. They can have a lot of money in their pockets but it must all go toward feeding the addiction so basic necessities are always on the back burner. In this episode, we go into the topic of living in the mindset of lack and what we need to do to overcome it. We have already overcame so much, so why stop now? All that was just gaining momentum, gaining experience that we can then use to serve people now that we are sober.
Also, I talk about how i recently had an interaction with law enforcement and realized I still need to work on that old active addiction mentality of avoiding the cops for fear of going to jail…for what, right? Yeah, I know..insert eye rolling emoji here…
“Where our attention goes, energy flows” and “We become what we think about” are nice slogans, bumper stickers to most people, but also extremely powerful if taken literally and applied to our lives. I can’t help but to chuckle a bit every time i see another grouch with a Law of Attraction type “Good Vibes Only” t shirt on while complaining about how bad his/her life sucks. Not us, though! Oh no, dear loved ones, we make our lives what we want to see, and if we get thrown a curve ball and it seems too much then we get back to basics, focus on our goals and be of service to others. It really IS that simple! Love you all! - Matt
