After you’ve removed a negative, detrimental habit from your life…
.
You need to fill that ‘void’ with something else…
.
Something positive.
.
You need to find a purpose and a passion.
.
If you don’t do this…
.
You will find that it will be much easier, and you will have much more of a reason to fall back into old ways of living and being.
.
When you find a purpose, a passion, it gives you something to focus on…
.
It helps you stay sober…
.
And it makes sobriety much easier and more joyful.
.
The truth is…
.
When you remove an addiction or negative habit from your life…
.
It does leave a void.
.
It’s something you’ve relied on for, most likely, many many years…
.
That habit becomes a part of you…
.
It becomes a part of your being.
.
And removing it feels like you’ve lost something.
.
Of course, you haven’t really ‘lost’ anything…
.
You’ve actually gained a lot.
.
But it feels like a loss.
.
And that ‘loss’, needs to be replaced.
.
Perhaps you’ve had a dream for many years that’s never been fulfilled because your addiction wouldn’t let you achieve it - one step forward, two steps back.
.
If that’s the case…
.
Focus on that dream.
.
Perhaps you’ve never really had a dream…
.
Addiction to alcohol and/or substances gives you a ‘foggy brain’, and destroys your motivation.
.
If that’s the case…
.
Search for something you really enjoy doing, or you think you would enjoy doing, and turn it into a career.
.
On top of that purpose and passion…
.
You need to fill your life with positive, meaningful habits…
.
Whatever makes you feel good.
.
For me, it’s meditation, exercise, growth (education) and business.
.
For you…
.
It’s whatever gives you that ‘feel good’ feeling.
.
Try out new things.
.
If you find you don’t like something…
.
Go onto the next thing.
.
Remember…
.
There’s no such thing as failure, only feedback.
.
You either ‘win’, or you learn.
.
This is something we work on in my 12 month ‘Sobriety Mastery Mentorship Program’...
.
Liberating you from addiction and unhealthy habits of course, being number one.
.
But also looking at every other aspect of your life and improving it in some way.
.
And of course…
.
Finding your passion and purpose in life which is going to drive you forward, towards pleasure, and away from pain.
.
If you’re fed up with the daily ‘grind’ of addiction…
.
Wearing you down, day after day after day…
.
Get in touch.
