Pull the plug - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Your doubts have no power except for the power you give them. At any time you can pull the plug. Those doubts, fears and other negative thoughts can become so familiar that you may think they're a part of you. Yet they are not a part of you. They are only things that you have chosen to hold. And when you choose, you can let them go.

Imagine being free of the doubts, the anxieties, the fears. Then realize that your imagination is the only place where they can possibly exist. When you can imagine being free of them, you are indeed free of them. You have the power at any time to pull the plug.

There is no need to tolerate even one more moment of being less than the best you can be. Let go of those thoughts that hold you back, and let yourself be free.

Good one. Those doubts can be powerful... if we give them power. Let it go, take it back, let it go, take it back, let it go, take it back... ad infinitum. Today I am not going to doubt that I can be and stay clean and sober. Thanks.
