You are a new person
Its not that you had an addiction and overcame it.
Its not that you transformed yourself from someone who had an addiction to someone who no longer does.
You never had the addiction.
This isn't delusion, this isn't fantasy, this isn't wishful thinking.
Memories are created now.
Have you ever told a lie so many times that you can't remember the truth?
Have you ever remembered something so vividly so often, so long after it happened, you start to question if it actually happened that way?
Its really, truly, this simple:
Who do you prefer to be NOW?
What does THAT person do?
DO THAT
Maybe you prefer to be someone who had an addiction and overcame it to show yourself your own strength.
Maybe youll get bored of that, realize you are strong, so strong that you decide to become someone who NEVER HAD THE ADDICTION.
You can't crave something you never experienced.
Maybe you say, no dude I remember the first time I had a drink, smoke, or escort.
To the person who never had a drink, smoke, or escort, what a funny thought, isn't it?
A memory that isn't mine.
A thought that isn't mine.
This is the 13th step.
One tiny change is a complete change, a completely different universe.
When you decide who you want to be, and you really commit, you become a different person.
That new person has a different past.
The past is created in the now.
Who do you prefer to be, what past will you create?
Love you all
