Self Recovery

“Suck it up.”Those words empowered and encouraged me as a boy. They injured me as a man. When we talk about pain, we first think of physical pain from injury or accident. There is a masculine, internal block on the notion of our emotions or feelings being hurt. How could they be, we’re men after all! That was my stubborn mindset for years until I realized that my unresolved pain had devastated most of my adult life and held a lasting effect on me. Once I dropped the macho facade, God showed me how to get free from the stranglehold of what living a life of hurt and hate had caused. I ...

Addiction takes over one's life in a slow manner. You'll find yourself getting hooked on something before you know it. The worst part is, addiction can generate negative side effects such as depression, diseases and low self-esteem.

Self-esteem and codependency are both very much interlinked. If you have codependent tendencies then the chances are there are underlying issues with self-esteem. The good news is that both can be worked on to break the cycles in order to develop more meaningful and rewarding relationships in your life. Just because these patterns have repeated themselves in the past doesn't mean that it has to be this way forever. But having clear understanding and strategies in place in which to improve on moving forward are absolutely vital.

An accomplished entrepreneur and recovering gambling and drug addict, Michael Dash realized his gaming obsession and his drive to succeed were two sides of the same coin.

Some people come to Alcoholics Anonymous feeling terrible about themselves and are told, bewilderingly, that their problem is too much ego and a lack of humility. Bill W., who wrote most of the AA literature, described himself as an egomaniac. He put his own needs and wants ahead of others, was grandiose, felt entitled, and thought he was all-powerful. He called this the alcoholic personality type and designed a program to crush the ego as the foundation of sobriety. It worked for him and millions of other alcoholics like him, and he deserves great credit.

For many of us, time spent in recovery—from a broken leg, a virus, chronic illness, or the crisis of depression or anxiety—can feel like an unwelcome obstacle on the road to health. Modern medicine too often assumes that once doctors have prescribed a course of treatment, healing takes care of itself. But recovery isn’t something that “just happens.” It is an act that we engage in and that has the potential to transform our lives, if only we can find ways to learn its rhythms and invest our time, energy, and participation.
