In this post I am going to cover what led me to rehab – along with how I’ve been able to move forward.
First things first, I’d like to get out of the way that I am well aware of the fact that there are plenty of people who’ve had it worse than me. In no way am I trying to claim that my story is in any way better, or of more importance than anybody else’s. It’s not, and that’s the God’s honest truth.
I never felt that I had bad intentions behind what I was getting myself into. Likewise, I found it quite hard to believe I had a problem when such a thing developed. Looking back, it was beyond obvious that I was struggling in a major way. I would sell myself the usual bullshit. That I just liked to have a good time, or that we’re only here once. Both of which are completely true. However, it would be a lie to say that alone justified the way I was living. It did not. It could never. There was no quality to my life.
Maybe that’s an overstatement, but I do not feel bad about making it in such a way. Because that’s how you should feel when you’re disrespecting yourself and your body the way I was, consistently. Our body and health are the single greatest gifts we are given in this lifetime. The fact that we’re even alive is a miracle. Think about it. Just about every human being on Planet Earth possesses a device with at the touch of a button – will return them information on just about anything they plug into it. With the advancement of AI technology like Chat GPT, the capabilities are quickly becoming even more eyebrow raising. And without delving into any rabbit holes of conspiracy, it is safe to say with just about 100% certainty that the world’s BEST bio-engineers could not replicate the human body if they tried. Hell, they still have trouble with aiding couples in contraception! When you think about existence in such a way it becomes that much easier to shift your perspective and outlook on life. It truly is a gift. And we live in a vastly magical world to boot.
People often ask me if I’ve struggled with urges since my departure from the can. Maybe this makes me an outlier, but I can’t say that I have. Sure, I’ve had my moments. But they were nothing more than that. I truly believe that when you make a decision and follow it with positive action, you are in that moment completely aligned with yourself and the frequencies you wish to attract in the universe. Simply put – your entire being accepts the decision and it becomes rooted in your subconscious so deeply that you no longer need to actively think on the thing. It just… Is. Call it muscle memory for the brain. A Milk Man original. All jokes aside, I truly do believe that. And now I can say that I have the evidence in my life to back it up. There is no other possible way that I could’ve achieved what I have in such a short amount of time. With little to no resistance to boot. People talk about the law of attraction and manifestation. What I’ve done in the last 2 years is exactly that. It wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t take action. But because I did, the universe had no choice but to bend to my will. It’s as simple as that. And you can do it too.
