5 Powerful Lessons Learned From My Addiction

Decisions can make you totally clear, it is very funny. My view arises from the drunk of the night almost eight years ago. When sending a text message to BlackBerry, two passengers were injured after hitting another car waiting for the traffic lights.

In the blink of an eye my life (and the life of the person I hit) changed forever. My actions hurt the two innocent people and make me aware of the damage I brought to myself and other people.

Among the important lessons that I learned on that important night (and the one I spent in prison next year), these are the most important five:

Before my car accident, I am always thinking about something obvious. I am not interested in all the wonderful things, but I focus on everything I do not have. Resentment and self-compassion are my constant friends. I know how lucky I am, so I spend a minute to remind you of my appreciation every day.

There is nothing that makes you more aware of who sticks to you and who does not stick. Some of my friends who think that I am closest have had mostly never heard of in the last 4 years and others have come out of wood products to support others in the past. The bottom of the blow can see who I am a superficial friend and really is interested in my best interests.

When I was a lawyer, my whole life went around me. I have never thought about other people or, indeed, how my actions will affect others. Looking back now, I am living a very empty life. Now I am trying to help others by giving back. It makes me feel more fulfilling than a wardrobe full of expensive clothes.

Everything about my past life made me feel sorry for myself. I remember thinking I worked hard, I am almost impossible to deal with all these inequities! These constant self-compassion put me into an infinite drinking cycle and slow my painful feelings about my life.

At that time, I thought that the only purpose of God in my life is to make me miserable. However, different perspectives and experiences of changing lives have changed all of these. When I let go and trust something more important than I, I can finally feel inner peace.

The course I learned does not mean I am perfect. I still need to regularly check myself and rely on a support system to make me responsible. But this is the beauty of recovery - this is a journey of life, you need to move forward as you continue to grow

There were several courses that were truly difficult to learn about power during all the years that I became aware. Please use power, abuse your power, exercise your power correctly. We often walk around life, we forget the power we have. Please put it in a small belief system of people who have never opened a box everyday. I can fill in the time-consuming words on this blog, or I can say this. I will understand this. Some of these things reflect that you are young, then, if young, this is a way of thinking rooted in the openness and the ability to change. If it reflects who you want to be ... it flashes your nose and becomes this. Okay, this is not easy, but it's pretty easy. I do not mind changing it. Still if still sounds like rhetoric ... if you are very depressed

It is stubborn. Stopping smoking brought me difficulties, and it took me a long time to stick to it. For some people, this is even more difficult. For many people this is easy. But if you want to learn from my own fight, it's complicated addiction, psychological, social, and biological factors in a very personal and ultimately universal timeline That means that. Everyone does not like to become an addict. If there is a chance and there is time to make it work, most of us do what we have to do to stop it.

Reflecting the years I was playing the World of Warcraft at my teenagers, my nostalgic moments were hard working all day and night, the lessons I learned from my depressed adolescent mud I was looking for. When I wrote Quora's answer of the day, it was no use asking those who said that "World of Warcraft" should be banned. This is also the answer included in Quora's 2014 print collection - I wrote an answer in a few minutes in the afternoon at 20 pm. After working at the coffee shop, this is a compaction of many themes and long stories I have done for Confessions and some of these concepts have been validated globally for the first time.
