We Are Not Powerless Over Addiction

 



We are powerless over our addiction only so long as we allow addiction power over us. 

Power is ours to weild or bow to as we wish.


I realized something years ago, drink, smoke, and pills were merely objects, products that I consumed, took into my body. 
Sometimes they made me feel good, other times, quite the opposite. 
Feel good or not; they were only products.

These products had no mind, no will, no authority in and/or of themselves; therefore they held no power over me.
The only power existing belonged to me. That power was only able to be used against me as a result of my own relinquishment of that power to inanimate objects, or products.

I took that power back that day all those years ago, it rightfully and naturally belonged to me. And it has not been weilded against me again since.
