Chapter 7 Be Accountable

Synopsis

Every action that you make is your own decision and your own doing. Unless you have been forced into your addiction, being addicted to something is a choice that you made. Refusing to stand up to your choices and accept that you made them in the first place will never get you anywhere.

In the same way that denial will not help, not holding responsibility for the things that you do will only make it even harder for you to stop your addictions.

Be accountable for your actions, your choices, and decisions. Be accountable for your whole life and recovery will follow.
Breaking Free of Your Bad Habits Requires
Accountability

Without accountability, you will never be successful with your recovery from your addictions. A primary aspect of active addiction is the attempt to make the people around you that you are not using use. Many addicts take on an expertise to make it look as if everything is going well while simultaneously avoiding the responsibilities, consequences and just choosing to live in denial.

Part of making healthy changes is starting to lead a responsible and honest life. Being accountable for your past, present and future is a major step in you completely recovering from your addictions.

Accountability comes with multiple facets and it starts with accepting your responsibility for everything that has happened in the past.

Playing the victim is one tough habit to let go of that most recovering addicts will be able to relate to. It is just all too easy for you to put the blame on other people for what happened to you instead of accepting the responsibility for the actions that you made. At the end of the day, you have to accept that the choices made in the past are all of your doing. It is impossible to learn from your past mistakes if you will not be accountable for them. However, it does not mean that you have to feel ashamed or beat yourself up for what you did. Everyone makes mistakes but you can take a major step forward if you will accept responsibility for the bad choices that you made.

To stop your bad habits, you need to be accountable for yourself. Addiction can destroy several aspects of your life, including your body, mind and spirit. Recovery gives you the chance of healing all of your past wounds. You have to take care of yourself by including day to day responsibilities like the way you eat, the way you react to people around you and the way you think. This will also mean setting up a more positive future for yourself through creating good goals and actively improving how you look at life in general. Recovery is your best chance of living the life that you are meant to live so you better make the most of it.

Remember: you are the only one accountable for your actions and your life. By holding yourself accountable for your past and your progress to recovery, you will be able to take a gigantic step towards leading a healthier and more balanced life.

Chapter 8 Have Support in Place

Synopsis

In the previous chapter, you learned that you need to be accountable for your life and the decisions and choices that you made in the past. But, holding yourself accountable can be very difficult without the help of other people.

For this reason, you need to have support so that it will be easier for you to stay accountable for your life. You must never feel afraid of reaching out to your family and close friends who are supportive of your desire to finally stop your addiction.

With a solid support in place, it will be much easier for you to face the remaining steps that you need to take to complete recovery.
Support Groups - An Assurance That You are Not Alone in the Fight Against Addiction

If you will look closely, you will find different support groups for all situations under the sun. Support groups for divorcees, cancer patients, parents and those who have lost a loved one are all made available today. The main reason why these support groups are popular is the simple fact that they are truly helpful. You can accomplish a lot of things by just talking about how a certain situation makes you feel, especially when you know that there are other people who feel the same way.

Different Types of Support Groups

Right now, there are plenty of support groups for addiction and many of these are recommended by professionals through the years. Some groups are for those who are abuse substances. There are also those who have alcohol addiction, while other groups are for families of the addicts, for those loved ones left behind after the fatal overdose of their addict family member. There are support groups focusing on addiction to specific kinds or drugs or those that live in particular locations or those with certain professions. You can also find support groups for other forms of addiction like shopping, sex and internet addictions.

Benefits of Support Groups

You can never underestimate the power of having support groups to help you in your journey against your addiction. When a person with an addiction realizes that he is not the only person with this problem and that there are still many others who are in the same situation, it will be easier for him to take responsibility for his addiction and be more open to treatment.

Emotional support that comes from the group members can also play a big role in continued sobriety and complete recovery. Another remarkable benefit of these support groups is the “helping helps the helper” mentality. Those who choose to give their energy and time to help others that deal with a similar problem usually see great benefits. By not just receiving support but at the same time giving it to other members, you will more involved and gain more from the experience of being in the group.

Get Unconditional Support from Your Family and Friends

But aside from these support groups, the best and undoubtedly most powerful support that you can ever get is the one that comes from those people that you love, and these are none other than your family and closest friends. Instead of pushing them away when they try to help, use their unconditional love and care to serve as your inspiration to become a changed person.
