Not So Fast

DON'T CLICK AWAY FROM HERE SO QUICKLY! My tracking software tells me that this is one of my most popular sites. More people click over to this site than any of the others on my list. But I have a sneaking suspicion no one's staying long.

Something about addiction recovery attracted you here. You're either struggling with addiction or know someone who is. There's help to be found right here. There are things I've written that can help you. There are links right over there in the right column with resources you need. Click through to my squidoo lens and you can find books and other resources.

Denial is a powerful tool in addiction's arsenal. You can keep pretending that you don't really have a problem and skip away from this site right now. OR...you can take the first step and admit that you're out of control and that your life has become unmanageable. If you do that you're on the road to recovery. If you don't, well, you're on a whole different road that has a very predictable end.

Stick around a while...for your own sake.

Insanity

Those of us in recovery know the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result." When you're fully engaged in your addiction that's exactly what happens. You do the same things hoping that your life will somehow magically right itself. It won't!

There are a lot of insane people in this world and not all of them are readily apparent. Addictive behavior doesn't always present itself as alcoholism, drug addiction, sex addiction, etc. People feed off of power, control, anger, fear and more to feed the addictive beast.

If you find yourself getting the same frustrating or destructive results in your life you just might be insane. I implore you, before it's too late, seek out a recovery program like Celebrate Recovery and get on the road to sanity.

Return here often as I share my ongoing experience of recovery and the road to sanity.
