The following is a brief outline of the 5 steps to addiction freedom. Prior to following these steps or any addiction recovery program Luciano Vietto Camiseta , take the necessary time to ascertain whether you require the additional support of an addiction counselor or medical attention regarding alcohol withdrawal. 1. Step One: Unearth the Square Root Family dysfunction is the common denominator of alcohol addiction, and the square root of all addictive behavior, and until it is brought to the forefront and confronted nothing will change! This is by far the most important and critical step of the entire process. There are two parts to step one, and they are as follows: A. Uncovering your family dysfunction Physical abuse Sexual abuse Verbal abuse Alcoholic parent Controlling parent Inadequate parenting B. Confront the parent or parents responsible for the dysfunction The thought of confronting the person that is responsible for your emotional trauma is one the most frightening situations you will face. However, it is also the most liberating and empowering thing you'll ever do! Why do you need to confront your parent or parents? Well, first let me clarify the meaning of the word confront and in what context we are using this term. Confronting the person does not at all mean that you should verbally attack them for your misfortunes. On the contrary, you are not doing this for them. You are doing it for you! The confrontation is not meant to be an attack, but it is rather a chance for you to set the record straight and drop the emotional baggage that you've been toting around. 2. Step Two: Remove your Emotional Baggage You have completed step one and have confronted your parent or parents. This in and of itself will have removed much of the pain and emotional trauma. However, to fully free yourself from their emotional stronghold, it will be necessary to find forgiveness in your heart for a family member that has committed an atrocity against you. Forgive! How can I forgive someone that committed these atrocities against me? Many people have a misconception about forgiveness. Forgiveness is not reconciliation! There is a drastic difference between the two. Reconciliation would mean that you have accepted and submit to their behavior and have agreed to try and continue the relationship under those circumstances. Forgiveness means that you merely give up or cease the resentment of the offender. 3. Step Three: Cure Wounditis Without question, partaking in addiction not only causes you pain but Thomas Partey Camiseta , it inflicts pain on the people around you as well. However, do not allow the effects of your addiction or the pain it has inflicted on others, to cause you to live in fear of what the future holds. The past is the past, it's over, and living in it does not serve anyone well. Live in the present moment, be kind to yourself, and learn to love yourself. How can you love someone else if you don't love yourself? The answer is you can't!!! It isn't a big secret that you're feeling shame and guilt because of your alcohol addiction. In fact, you're probably questioning right now as to whether you should be punished for your actions. Well guess what, its ok! God doesn't punish people, we punish ourselves. God is a loving and forgiving being. So if you thought that you would continue to punish yourself with shame and guilt before God gets a hold of you, you can stop right now! We do not have defects of character Juanfran Camiseta , are not full of shortcomings, and we certainly are not powerless! On the Contrary, we are all the same, we are all connected, and we all have the same power to change! 4. Step Four: Awaken the Power within Whether you want to admit it or not, all of the pain you have been through concerning your alcohol addiction is a spiritual lesson. And until you view it as such, the addiction will continue to cause you suffering and unhappiness. Every dark cloud does have a silver lining, and if you look hard enough you'll find one in your alcohol addiction too. However, to find that silver lining you must ask the right questions; 1. What can I learn from my alcohol addiction? 2. How can I grow from my alcohol addiction? The answers to these questions can be found in a place that is uncharted by most, and it is just waiting to be explored! It's called your true self! To embark on a journey of Self -reflection requires the practice of Mediation. For more information on mediation you can visit my website below. 5. Step five: Practice Acts of Random Kindness Happiness is a state of mind. Individuals that are suffering from alcohol addiction are not happy! Ironically, in an attempt to find happiness Lucas Hernandez Camiseta , they chose a vehicle to mask emotional pain through the use of alcohol. However, happiness is never found on the outside in material possessions or in the abuse of alcohol and compulsions! True life happiness can only be found in one place, and that place is within! Happiness is not found in the practice of outward ideals or in other people. To the contrary, it is actually the small acts of random kindness that opens the heart and fuels the principle of unconditional love! To practice spirituality is to be of service to your fellow man and make no mistake about it that is why we are all here. Begin with small acts of kindness such as opening a door for someone, letting someone go before you in the checkout line or just taking the time to offer a kind word to an older person or a child. You get the picture! The first thing I do upon waking in the morning is think of how I can be of service and throughout the day I am always mindful of opportunities that present themselves for me to do just that. You know, the paradox of the whole thing is that the more kind and generous you are the more love, kindness and abundance you'll receive back. Don't believe me! Just try it and watch what begins to happen to you. Auth.
