The Missing Piece in Addiction Treatment #recovery #mindset #shorts

I've seen people who get sober while they are still literally living in a crack house because that's where they live and that's where they hit rock bottom and they find recovery and eventually yeah they move out but at first that's where they are surrounded by all the old triggers and conversely I've seen hundreds of times people who go to the five-star treatment centers and they have all the professional help and they can't get sober and not only this happens once they'll go for two treatments and three treatments treatments and four treatments. What this tells me is something that really every addict knows, which is your sobriety doesn't depend on your circumstances. That's the excuse that every active addict makes. You don't understand. My situation is different. If you were in my shoes, if you had my life, if you had my problems, if you were married to my wife, you would also be using you would also be an addict. and they don't get sober until they realize none of those things are the cause for addiction. People, places, and things, all the triggers, all the stuff that's happening around you, you don't have any control over that. But the good news is it doesn't have any control over you. Not when you're locked in to a higher power. So, I think a lot of addiction treatment is about creating fancier and more state-of-the-art environments that are more and more expensive and then having to justify that expense when we know what works. What works doesn't require a spa treatment. It doesn't require gourmet meals. You can do it right where you are with your life being exactly as it is right
