In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we are talking about some hard truths about our attitudes towards money and success. A lot of people have fallen into the trap of believing that success is very hard to achieve or that anyone who has had success and accumulated wealth did it by some nefarious means. Whether that’s true or not is completely irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if the system is rigged and some bad people have made out like bandits or not, that has nothing to do with us!
Addicts in recovery, as I always say, are in a particularly unique position in that we have an incredible amount of momentum going for us just by getting sober in the first place. We are in a position when we begin sober living to do something amazing with ourselves, and to then be examples of what addicts in recovery can accomplish. We just can not allow ourselves to fall into those traps of thinking that it can’t be done or that the deck is stacked against us. Those views instill resentment towards successful people and wealth which will almost guarantee that you will not succeed. How could you if you resent success and wealth? Or, if you see it as completely out of reach? I love you enough to tell you the hard truth about yourself and help to pull you up out of that muck.
