Currently, there is no solution or cure for addictive behaviors. According to the recovery community, there is only a daily reprieve depending upon the maintenance of one’s spiritual condition. As we know, many continue to relapse, and the death rate due to overdoses continues to escalate.  What if the belief that there is no solution or cure hinders, if not stops us, from the discovery of a real remedy?  I believe that there is a solution, a cure, and that those suffering can end their addictive behaviors forever.

I believe that the solution to addictive behaviors comes when the person afflicted discovers how to authentically love themselves. It is my belief that those using drugs and alcohol do not love themselves, suffer from poor self-esteem, and that when they come to like, honor, and love themselves, they will stop attempting to harm, if not kill themselves with substances.  The process of coming to love oneself depends on the individual changing their self-talk from that which is primarily negative to exclusively positive.

Our word, what we say and speak into existence, is very powerful and creative.  Our words can create or destroy.  Our words can bring us joy and happiness, or they can bring us pain and sorrow.  Our words can also create the conditions that will bring about our self-sabotage and eventually our death. Ultimately, our word is about our Identity.  “I am not good enough” creates a psychological environment that is not supportive of personal health, while “I am perfect, whole, and complete” fosters a nurturing inner space for the individual to flourish and transform.
