I wanted to share a story with you, a story that touches on a topic close to many of our hearts: addiction.
You see, throughout our lives, we often believe that addiction is solely a result of external conditions, like the desire for more alcohol, the allure of cocaine, cigarettes or the pressure of challenges in our lives.
While these elements certainly contribute, they are not the actual root cause.
Addiction often stems from deep-seated and unresolved traumas at the very core.
It is an illness of the soul.
It’s as if a wounded part of ourselves is crying out to be comforted, seeking healing and understanding.
Can you relate?
But there’s a shift that can happen, a new way of seeing addiction. We can view it as a sign of an underlying pain, a call for genuine healing rather than just a problem to be tackled.
Year’s ago I was walking in those shoes, feeling the pull of drinking every weekend into oblivion, continuously swiping to find love, and the enmeshment of codependency.
And I’ve witnessed countless bright lights, just like you, stuck in this prison, sometimes feeling chained up without an escape.
But here’s what I want you to know: A way out is possible lovely, and ALWAYS.
If you’re in a relationship with someone struggling with addiction, it’s important to remember that you can’t mend their wounds for them even though your love is powerful.
Relinquishing the need to try and control is powerful.
Instead flip it, cherishing your worth is the power move, digesting and accepting that you cannot heal someone else’s wounds.
HOW IS ADDICTION A BELOVED TEACHER
Addiction acts as a message, showing where there is gaps in our lives and provoking deeper thought and catalyst for our purpose to be known.
It’s like there is some hollow space inside that only the service of our purpose can fill and nourish.
You actually possess a unique gift if you’ve rebirthed from the throws of addiction.
Because we’ve been there, our light can activate others onto the path of sobriety, our compassion can move mountains.
And remember, flip the scrip we’ve been taught: Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
PUTTING YOURSELF FIRST
By truly loving and valuing yourself, focusing on activities that deeply nourish your soul, you radiate that love outward even more powerfully which is essential if you’re close to someone struggling.
The journey through addiction can span many many years and often be silent.
However, the pattern can be broken with compassion, love, understanding, and a focus on healing wounds.
REMEMBER THIS:
Discovering your purpose and healing your trauma is a mammoth leap towards a life overflowing with fulfilment and natural radiance, over and above the cage of addiction.
So, acknowledge how far you’ve come and keep taking action lovely, I’m right beside you.
THIS WEEKS AFFIRMATIONSI embrace my struggles, seeing them as chances to blossom and find solace.
Each day, I lovingly affirm that my past traumas do not define me.
Today, I nourish my soul by taking a single step toward understanding and inner healing.
I courageously seek support when needed, knowing it strengthens my spirit.
I empower myself, realising that I hold the power to break any limiting cycle.
In this moment, I mindfully listen to my inner voice, offering it gentle comfort.
