How do I stop sabotaging my life.

I can’t live like this anymore

My root cause to my addictions is I’m so scared to be happy so I keep purposely sabotaging my life by doing drugs and gambling all my money

The more I say I’m not going to do it again the more I do it

I need to break this but I don’t know how to

I don’t know what to do anymore

Nothing is working

Making change moving on is scary ... you feel comfortable in sabotage now. 

 It is not the fear of being happy or successful........perhaps  it is the fear if you try and it does not work out.  Imo it is better to try then never know. 

It is safe knowing things will not change when you stay in the hole you have dug for yourself.  addictions become security blankets ... telling ourselves or letting others feel you could have soared but this addiction chained you down. 

do not self talk and fail do something and fail or .... Succeed. then you have whole other items to deal with if you are sober and not gambling.
