Addiction comes in many forms.
And although it is different for everyone,
It is also difficult for everyone.
So let's begin today by taking five big deep breaths together.
Breathing in,
Expanding your belly as wide as you can,
And exhaling any tension out in your body.
Breathing in,
Relaxation,
Exhale,
Judgment.
So find a comfortable position and make sure you won't be disturbed.
So it's critical to know the root causes of your addiction.
So as you breathe and relax,
Your conscious mind go even further,
And the subconscious mind will be allowed to fully receive these positive affirmations.
So continue breathing.
Just listen.
I will overcome my addiction safely.
I will work slowly toward this wonderful change.
I take my time and have compassion during hard times.
It's easy for me to always keep the goal of recovery from addiction in my thoughts throughout the day.
I know that I have the power and the love within my heart to break free from this addiction and become who I truly am.
Subconscious,
Please help me fully understand the root cause of my addiction.
I know that I gain great relief by letting go of addiction.
I understand that withdrawals can be dangerous,
And therefore I allow others to care for me in order to let my body and my mind recover.
Good.
So now that we've relaxed,
Take a moment to listen to any messages that you may need that will help you towards your goal.
In times of intense temptations,
It's our solid relationships that carry us through the storm.
It is your responsibility now to ask these individuals to help you when you need it.
It is vital that you do so.
You do this from now on and do not hesitate to ask for their connection.
These people are delighted that you have asked them and are honored that you trust them.
Imagine this person now helping you along the way.
Allow the image of this person or many people to rise in your mind and allow the feelings of love and compassion to rise with them.
Accept their offer to be with you and accept their love.
Look them deeply in the eye and say,
I need you.
A smile,
You hug each other for me,
I trust.
Drug and alcohol addictions are a powerful toxin that your body has come to rely on.
So it is extremely important not to go cold turkey.
Detox can be deadly.
During this transition,
It's important to have medical assistance if you need it so they can get you through it safely.
So I like to imagine the detox portion of addiction removal is going through giving birth.
You know,
When a woman gives birth,
She's surrounded by those who care for her,
By those who can assist her in any medical scenario.
Every birth is different,
Just like every withdrawal is different.
Yet,
You know,
They're also similar in the way that it's a very difficult transition for the birthing mother.
But the result is that there's a new life and love to cherish.
And when you break through the detox withdrawal,
It is like you were born again.
A birthing mother is surrounded by support and medical experts,
Just as,
You know,
The withdrawing addict should be.
Before giving birth,
A woman once told me the hardest thing you will ever do is this,
But it's the best thing you will ever do.
You know,
Just remember this advice as it also applies to detoxing.
You're committing to a radical and difficult change.
By removing addiction from your life,
You have opened up the world of endless possibilities.
But for some time,
Many things may feel like they're missing,
And this is completely normal.
So now,
Listen closely to your subconscious mind and let it give you many new ideas of things you can do with your newly acquired time now.
Walking in nature,
Spending time on healthy friendships.
Just open and listen.
So one of the things that's going to help us in this journey is becoming mindful of the world around us,
Becoming mindful of the world within us,
But you can be practicing this all the time.
When you walk,
Gaze at the plants and trees and feel them supporting you in your journey.
They do,
After all,
Provide you with oxygen.
When you notice a troublesome thought coming your way,
Look at nature and appreciate its oxygen and take a deep breath.
Breathing,
Exercise,
All these things that we do mindlessly,
They are removing toxins from our body and healing us in every way.
So become aware of that as you move through your days,
As you move through your life.
As we close,
Think of the gain and what life gifts you will receive by letting go completely of this addiction.
Know that you have the power and great natural love in your heart to break from this addiction and live as you truly are.
Allow any messages you've waited for so long to arrive.
Breathe and take this important time for yourself.
Now,
You must believe in yourself.
If you're truly willing to let go of these destructive addictions,
Take three deep breaths with me.
Think of the gain and what you will receive by letting go completely of this addiction.
You're gaining great power,
Which will stabilize your life.
The future,
You can make of it what you will.
Good job today.
