Persistence Always Leads to Success

The Power of Persistence in Solving Substance Use Problems

We just released Episode 232 of The Addiction Solution Podcast, and in it, Mark and I discuss the importance of being persistent when solving substance use problems or other “addictions”. And spoiler alert; it doesn’t involve forcing yourself to be abstinent, feeling deprived, and miserable!

Episode 232: Solving Addiction With Persistence?

Understanding the Journey: Why Persistence Matters

While some people solve their “addiction” and change their habit in an instant, for others it can be a longer process that involves identifying your perceived benefits of the substance and/or activity, challenging those benefits, and also identifying the benefits you get by changing your habit. For some there may also be a process of unlearning addiction disease and recovery mythology, shedding the addict identity, and challenging long-held beliefs they may have about themselves and their personal abilities.

Faith and Persistence: Key Ingredients for Success

The point is, for each person, solving their problem requires a certain level of persistence and faith that if you keep on working to solve the problem, you will eventually solve it! 

Success is Closer Than You Think: Keep Pushing Forward

Remember virtually everyone moves past their addiction/s! You never know how close you are to success, and sometimes you get to that point where you feel like giving up and then the answers come to you seemingly all at once!
