Why do you want so much this new beginning? Do you think the new beginning will postpone the end? Are you afraid of the end? Are you afraid of death Michael?" (Ch.35) ~ Stevan V. Nikolic
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Stevan V. Nikolic
He could still remember how the first sip of wine made him feel. ~ Dianne Harman
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Dianne Harman
When we seek to escape from inner conflict and pain, we are running away from unresolved childhood trauma or original pain. Most people with serious addictive natures who are in the process of recovery have found that trauma played a huge role in escalating their addictions. It certainly did for me. ~ Christopher Dines
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Christopher Dines
Guilt is imperative if we are to create and sustain a decent code of ethics and a sound moral compass. Guilt can help us to listen to our conscience, enhance empathy, and therefore have fulfilling relationships. Without guilt, we would live in an extremely dark world. However, misplaced guilt often triggers us to be over-apologetic and people-please. Many people repeat the word 'sorry' without needing to, while still others feel guilty for their very own existence. Emotionally wounded, shame-based people often feel that they are constantly 'getting in the way'. This stems from a sense of feeling unlovable. To ask for one's own needs to be met often results in a feeling of guilt. I call this misplaced guilt. Similarly, a person may feel guilty even if they have been abused or harmed by others. Misplaced guilt or excessive guilt stifles people's chances to live happily and peacefully. ~ Christopher Dines
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Christopher Dines
Every day is a fresh beginning. Every morn is the world made anew. ~ Sarah Chauncey Woolsey
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey
Alcohol is the fuel to your pains. Share you pains and you will see how easy it is to quit alcohol. ~ Srinivas Shenoy
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Srinivas Shenoy
They say you can't build Rome in a day, but I'm pretty sure you could destroy it in even less. ~ Kris Kidd
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Kris Kidd
You know, one of things you learn in recovery from addiction is that self-control is the only control we have. That all you can do is make sure your own actions are sound because you can't control actions of others. ~ Taylor Jenkins Reid
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Let's remind ourselves that to be compassionate and forgiving doesn't mean we are endorsing dysfunctional behaviour. On the contrary, it's essential the harm that was inflicted upon us is properly validated and grieved. Forgiveness isn't an intellectual concept or an airy-fairy idea. It's a painstaking process. To be compassionate and to forgive mean we are gradually letting go of poisonous, toxic feelings that are trapped in our minds and bodies. ~ Christopher Dines
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Christopher Dines
Take a few minutes now and see your current circumstances- your physical condition, your emotional condition, your possessions, your financial condition, where and how you live, your relationships, the situations surrounding your life, and the way you believe other people see you- as mirrors showing you "Who You Are. ~ Chris Prentiss
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Chris Prentiss
You preach cleanliness,
so I try to keep my room clean,
but I feel no closer to God, and I guess that's okay
because he doesn't know
who he's fucking with anyway. ~ Kris Kidd
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Kris Kidd
While excellence is a wonderful ideal, perfectionism is a dysfunctional belief system. Many people openly admit that they are perfectionists, which is really an unconscious cry for help. Being a perfectionist is really stating that whatever we attempt to do will never be good enough. This is due to a mistaken belief that we are flawed and unlovable. ~ Christopher Dines
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Christopher Dines
There is no external solution to the problem of insecurity. ~ Stefan Molyneux
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Stefan Molyneux
Some of the burdens we carry include false weight, perhaps to make up for all the horrible stuff we actually did and forgot. ~ David Carr
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by David Carr
When we think we can manage our time, our circumstances, and our relationships without His help and inspiration, we know what unmanageability is. ~ Toni Sorenson
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Toni Sorenson
Getting rid of the drugs doesn't get rid of all the other ways you learned to deal with the world. It's not that easy. ~ Amy Reed
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Amy Reed
He has half the deed done who has made a beginning. ~ Horace
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Horace
Sometimes when you think you are done, it is just the edge of beginning. Probably that's why we decide we're done. It's getting too scary. We are touching down onto something real. It is beyond the point when you think you are done that often something strong comes out. ~ Natalie Goldberg
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Natalie Goldberg
We must move in our recovery from one addiction to another for two major reasons: first, we have not recognized and treated the underlying addictive process, and second, we have not accurately isolated and focused upon the specific addictions. ~ Anne Wilson Schaef
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Anne Wilson Schaef
As we celebrate Recovery Month, it is time for Congress to knock down the barriers to treatment and recovery for 26 million Americans suffering the ravages of alcohol and drug addiction. ~ Jim Ramstad
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Jim Ramstad
Sometimes, he thought of himself as an elephant walking through the china store, breaking everything in his path and still expecting people not to be angry with the damage he made, but rather to admire his strength and his endurance. ~ Stevan V. Nikolic
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Stevan V. Nikolic
I carried a bravado about my drinking like I was a hero of debauchery. But on that Christmas Day, I felt like shit. I had a vague realisation that I was just trying to keep up with some version of myself that I had decided was accurate. ~ Nadia Bolz-Weber
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Nadia Bolz-Weber
If things go wrong, don't go with them. ~ Roger Babson
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Roger Babson
Always make your familial environment a safe and inviting place. ~ Asa Don Brown
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Asa Don Brown
The Karpman drama triangle is a classic model of codependent behaviour. First of all, a codependent will rescue someone. Then, when their 'brave and charitable' work hasn't been acknowledged, they become very angry at the person they have attempted to rescue. And finally, they start to feel like a victim. They feel sorry for themselves and complain how the person they rescued never appreciated them. The important thing to learn here is that if a person wants to change, it's because they have made a decision to do so. ~ Christopher Dines
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Christopher Dines
Until you find out what you are running from, you will never figure out where you are going. ~ Joseph A, Meyering Sr
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Joseph A, Meyering Sr
Fortunately I have a son, my beautiful boy
Unfortunately he is a drug addict.
Fortunately he is in recovery.
Unfortunately he relapses.
Fortunately he is in recovery again.
Unfortunately he relapses.
Fortunately he is not dead. ~ David Sheff
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by David Sheff
For me, recovery and self-care are inextricably connected. My recovery from abuse, addiction, and a suicide attempt required dumptruck loads of self-care. ~ Steve Austin
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Steve  Austin
Recovery is a resumption of the work that was not completed when the woman was a girl. It is a coming into her own. It is an opportunity to resume the normal process of development that was sidetracked, perhaps first by constrained roles, perhaps by trauma, and then multiplied many times by hiding in the addiction. Her development was sidetracked by not accepting her needs as legitimate and not finding healthy ways to meet them, by not even knowing her needs. And so this is what recovery is: a developmental process of finding and building a new self. Recovery is a process of radical growth and change. When you are in recovery, you give birth to a new self. [...] Many women initially think that recovery means a move from bad to good. They think that being addicted is evidence of shameful neediness, of deep and lasting failures. Recovery is not a move from bad to good, but from false to real. [...] It is reality, being real, that now guides her rather than her efforts to be good or bad. ~ Stephanie Brown
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Stephanie Brown
I believe that food addicts need the same type of support offered to alcoholics and drug addicts. They need to detoxify first first and then learn about their disease, while dealing with the thoughts and feelings that arise once they are off their drug. Quite often, psychological issues do not become obvious until food addicts have been abstinent for a long period of time. That's why ongoing support is needed to prevent addicts from relapsing in a panicky effort to cope. ~ Vera Tarman
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Vera Tarman
I've been married but I'm not anymore. And I still believe in love. ~ Nick Saint Clair
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Nick Saint Clair
How sad that I couldn't get myself sober to share a life with him, but I could do it to show him I didn't need him. ~ Josh Lanyon
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Josh Lanyon
It was only when I started to reconnect with my inner child four years into recovery (I was over four years clean and sober off drugs and alcohol) and started to attend a love addiction support group that I was able to trust again and have faith that there are just as many honest and trustworthy women as there are women who are not interested in monogamy.
However, it was after ten years of continuous recovery that I started to really dig deep into my childhood grief work and was finally able to reclaim my inner child. I started to take risks again. On a practical level, you can't get very far in this world if you resent and distrust the opposite sex and, sadly, many men and women suffer in this area. Rather than celebrating the opposite sex, they fear them. Empathy and self-compassion has helped me in this area too. ~ Christopher Dines
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Christopher Dines
My very best thinking led me to a therapist's office weeping and pleading for help regarding my alcoholism at the age of 19. I thought I could 'manage' my alcohol addiction, and I failed miserably until I asked for help. My older friends in recovery remind me that I looked like 'death' when I started attending support groups. I was not able to give eye contact, and I covered my eyes with a baseball cap. I had lost significant weight and was frightened to talk to strangers. I was beset with what the programme of Alcoholics Anonymous describes as 'the hideous Four Horseman – terror, bewilderment, frustration and despair'. Similarly, my very best thinking led me to have unhappy, co-dependent relationships. I can go on. The problem was I was dependent on my own counsel. I did not have a support system, let alone a group of sober people to brainstorm with. I just followed my own thinking without getting feedback. The first lesson I learned in recovery was that I needed to check in with sober and wiser people than me regarding my thinking. I still need to do this today. I need feedback from my support system. ~ Christopher Dines
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Christopher Dines
If you can quit for a day, you can quit for a lifetime. ~ Benjamin Alire Saenz
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Benjamin Alire Saenz
Who are we without our addictions; without our media-induced hungers? So often the voices we hear echoing in our mind are not our own but that of our influencers. Isolation, while arguably going against human nature, is essential for mental and emotional health. Solitude is a detoxification of all that distorts our personality and misguides our path in life. It allows us to filter out the foreign opinions and hear our own voice - reach our authentic character - and practice fidelity to self. ~ L.M. Browning
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by L.M. Browning
When you are addicted, your always are addict." Who said that? That's not true!No one know what you can do beside you! So don't let no one can tell you what you can and can't do ! Remember you are the one who can change and decided to seek help for yourself! ~ "Beta" Metani' Marashi
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by
Like most people who decide to get sober, I was brought to Alcoholics Anonymous. While AA certainly works for others, its core propositions felt irreconcilable with my own experiences. I couldn't, for example, rectify the assertion that "alcoholism is a disease" with the facts of my own life.
The idea that by simply attending an AA meeting, without any consultation, one is expected to take on a blanket diagnosis of "diseased addict" was to me, at best, patronizing. At worst, irresponsible. Irresponsible because it doesn't encourage people to turn toward and heal the actual underlying causes of their abuse of substances.
I drank for thirteen years for REALLY good reasons. Among them were unprocessed grief, parental abandonment, isolation, violent trauma, anxiety and panic, social oppression, a general lack of safety, deep existential discord, and a tremendous diet and lifestyle imbalance. None of which constitute a disease, and all of which manifest as profound internal, mental, emotional and physical discomfort, which I sought to escape by taking external substances.
It is only through one's own efforts to turn toward life on its own terms and to develop a wiser relationship to what's there through mindfulness and compassion that make freedom from addictive patterns possible. My sobriety has been sustained by facing life, processing grief, healing family relationships, accepting radically the fact of social oppression, working with my abandonment conditioning, ~ Noah Levine
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Noah Levine
My dad struggled with cocaine addiction, and we actually went to rehab with him too. I remember having extensive talks with him about how I was wired a certain way, how I wouldn't be able to drink and do drugs the same way my friends got to. ~ Ryan Montgomery
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Ryan Montgomery
Frozen grief occurs when we deliberately numb out and refuse to process our major losses. Frozen grief is essentially suppressed emotional pain (loss and abandonment) stored in the human body. Frozen grief torments drug addicts. Deep below the emotional surface of the drug addict who has yet to find recovery lies untold, suppressed pain and loss. ~ Christopher Dines
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Christopher Dines
We exist to fully participate in the creation our own lives. ~ Toni Sorenson
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Toni Sorenson
The issue of addiction has spread like wildfire and it is affecting every corner of this globe ~ Asa Don Brown
Cocaine Addiction Recovery quotes by Asa Don Brown
It is ethanol that everyone is after when they drink alcoholic beverages. That is what gives us the euphoric feeling, and that is what all vendors of alcoholic drinks are selling. ~ Chris Prentiss
