The constant vigil of recovery is often discouraging. Like eating or breathing, it is a forever thing. Write out your goals and desires. Write the epitat you wish to be remembered by when you die. Be clear about how you visualize an addiction free life.
All races have a finish line.
Seeing it as a race needing perserverance helps you become stronger. He is the source of your faith origin. He is also the source of power for the perfection of your faith. In a recovery process, you need something larger than yourself. It is always better to fix your gaze on what you want to become.
