It has been an inigma to me and to those who work with me. It's very predictable in my case. It has gotten to the point where I can't trust myself. Even though I am sincere in my recovery and working diligently on being a better person, eventually, I sabotage the whole effort and sink back to the place I know so well. I do believe the core of this behavior is how we believe ourselves to be deep down. My question is this: So how does a person like me begin to challenge these negative thoughts and feelings so that they don't have this power on me or my recovery anymore?

I'm on the brink of changing my life for the so-much-better!! and keep recognizing self-sabotage and self-defeating behaviour.

It's a shame how living in a unhealthy family environment at a young age can affect the rest of their lives. More needs to be done to educate people on family values.

At least I've had a very positive experience with cognitive behavioral therapy that successfully helped me to deal with panic attacks, depression and anxiety.

It means release from care, boredom and worry. It is joyous intimacy with friends and a feeling that life is good. But not so with us in those last days of heavy drinking.

It is not an easy task to recover addiction like the way we speak or think about it. The help of a drug rehab centre with well established treatment facilities is important to cure the addiction disorder. Nice sharing and keep posting more like this.

Thank you for addressing a topic that is so important to personal recovery. Facing the truth about how self-sabotaging behaviors may have taken root and truly understanding the motivating factors that drive addiction can be the key to developing new coping skills and avoiding a constant pattern of relapse.
