If anxiety is caused by looking forward and depression is looking into the past.... RabiesLove followers I suggest that we try to stay present and keep moving forward...
So you fell off the wagon over the weekend...
Weekends are dangerous times for people trying to improve their lives by abstaining from their drug of choice.
What is worse is if someone had a weak moment... maybe they drank or drunk dialed or snorted a line or...SMOKED a Marlboro.... whatever you failed at we all end the weekend feeling overwhelmed with guilt and depression.
One of the biggest misconceptions people have about addicts is that they do not feel Guilt. They actually feel extreme levels of guilt.
It is the guilt of using that sometimes causes them to use again...and again.. they are trying to numb the guilty feeling with their drug of choice.
The cycle of chaos continues on.
You have to let go of the guilt and live in the present. Try to enjoy... right now.
If the person you love has any type of addiction problem remember to forgive and not constantly dwell on their mistakes.... you too have to learn to live in the present.
So as you start a new week try to live each day without the guilt of the past looming in the corner...
I mean the worst that can happen is... you may actually enjoy the present...
