“I found, to overcome addiction, you have to learn how to control your thoughts because they do influence our feelings, & feelings do impact our actions. What we think, we do, or can become, is a very real principle. How we deal with all the random, tempting, crazy thoughts that engulf the mind, that bring us down, will define our direction. Do we let the thoughts that bring us down linger, and do we then allow them to manifest themselves into things we truly, in our hearts, don’t want to do, or do we take control of them immediately, the instant they enter the mind. Remember, it only takes a split second to entertain the thought, or also only a split second to defeat and redirect it. That decisive, or indecisive moment, can be the difference between success in recovery, or failing to recover.” Jim Wallor
