People are not addicted to Drugs or Alcohol , they are addicted to escaping reality .
You’ve got that friend that’s always high? Or maybe you even self medicate? That’s a symptom of a deeper problem. Often our mental and emotional health needs are not being met and we turn to escapism. This is also a symptom of self abuse and self harm by denying oneself the help they really need. If you’re tuning out of your life or feel better with a drink or high, you may be trying to get away from something you’re not able to get a resolution from. Take some time to get a clear head and ask yourself what is going on with you. What are you happy with in your life? What are you unhappy with? What would have to change to make you happier about yourself and where you are in your life and where you are heading? Be honest with yourself. Only you can change your reality. Only you can control you. In fact, you are the only thing you have control over in this life so embrace that. If you’re checking out that’s a sign that you need to check back in with yourself. Find out what needs are being unmet and go meet them yourself. You deserve to be able to invest your time and energy in yourself. We hope anyone struggling and looking for a sign right now sees this message right now. You are in control of your life. You are not your circumstances. Love yourself. It all starts there for a second chance.
