Will I have what it takes to better myself?

Will I have what it takes to better myself? My friends are my family and I am my own down fall. Will I always be this? My mind is constant chaos. That is until I plunge that syringe. Then everything slows. Everything falls into obedience. It becomes manageable. It becomes bearable.

You absolutely have what it takes to better yourself. You wouldn’t be here on this app if you didn’t. Listen, using and drinking feels good for a little while. There’s no denying that. But we can never avoid the consequences. If we could, we wouldn’t have had to enter sobriety in the first place. Try finding other ways to bring yourself that sense of relief that don’t involve deugs. It’s not easy but its a worthy cause.

If you have what it takes to ask the question of if you have what it takes, you can always better yourself.
