remember you are in control of your life.
take responsibiulity for your life dont blame circumstances or others.
by taking responsibility dont blame yourself,be patient,you are simply on your path to enlightenment.
be aware of when and where you are not accepting responsibility for your life so you can change.
handle the chatterbox in your head,its distracting and negative.
figure out what you want in life and act on it.
know that you have choices in every situation and your action is your choice.
be honest with yourself and find out what are the advantages you percieve to staying stuck and be aware of them so you can move on and get unstuc

and thanks u back negative voice was creeping in today for me too but knowing someone else is there going thro the same thing helps so much. ur words about staying stuck- hunger tieredness fear moodiness just resonate so much and it's so true that's the reality wat ever excuses we come up with in our mind lik.... NONE OF IT IS REAL NONE OF IT IS WORTH THE GUILT THE PAIN THE TORTURE. i repeat to myself at the moment... recovery might seem hard but isn't the alternative worse??

I really needed to read that

Hi C.

Reading your post is exactly what I needed to hear right now! I have beed stuck in a rut since Saturday and today had given up on recovery. I handed the power back over to that negative voice....but you are right, I do have a choice in every situation and but it's hard to choose the right choice. U have reminded me that I need to consider what are the advantages of staying stuck in this rut....i can think of none really....just constant tiredness, hunger, moodiness, always on the verge of tears...the list could go on.

So thank you C for bringing me back on track and making me realise that it's up to me to get unstuck!
