There is nothing wrong with wanting a change. In fact, it is a great thing. If you want something bad enough, it gets done no matter what it takes. What you are doing right now is keeping it at bay while you discover how to live a better life. What will you do when it is time to actually make a difference?

People in recovery often face a lot of obstacles. It is easy to lose sight of the things that you need to live for the future. It is easy to let yourself go. If you know you should do something about your life, but just don't know what, here are some tips that may help.

First, you must identify the problem and then make a plan to solve it. I know you want to stay sober, but if there is no real problem you are hiding, sooner or later it will come out. If you hide it and pretend it does not exist, it will only get worse. You must get up and make a decision to get help for yourself. Don't put it off any longer.

Second, be honest with yourself about what you really want. Most people want to quit, but they do not know why they want to quit. To get clearer on this, I recommend reading the book called "The Secret" by Joe Vitale. This book will teach you what you really want to achieve in your life and how to become successful at it. If you are not able to read it on your own, try to find a book club or read it online.

Third, do not give up. Giving up on your dreams is the worst thing you can do for yourself. You will be happy you stuck it out and figured out how to survive without your addiction. A lot of times your friends and family will support you, but eventually you have to take care of yourself.

Fourth, set a short term goal and work toward it. This will keep you motivated. You have to see yourself accomplishing the goal before you will be able to see it as a reality. This is very important. Set short term goals that you can accomplish.

Lastly, if you feel like you cannot do anything else to get rid of your addiction, you should do something to make yourself healthier. Eat healthy, exercise, drink water, and get some sleep. These things will help you overcome your problem. Good luck!

For many people, dealing with an addiction is not easy. Sometimes you think you want to quit but then you end up getting worse. You feel helpless. It is hard to do the things you want in life when you are doing things that don't make you happy. There is hope though.

If you want to live a happy and drug free life, I know you can and should do something about your addiction. First, do not give up. It is going to take time but it is going to be worth it. Second, commit to changing your behavior. You have to want to quit before you can actually do it.

Third, if you really want to quit, do not do it on your own. It is not worth it. You need the help of others in order to succeed. Find someone that will encourage you and believe in you. Do not be afraid to ask for their advice. They may have been through the same thing and can relate to your situation.
