A speaker argues that recovery from crystal meth shouldn't be measured by days sober, but by how close you get to your full potential. When you focus on becoming the person you're meant to be, the desire to use naturally fades as a side effect of actual growth.
Guys, often when you gauge your success on whether or not you've used crystal meth today or how long it's been since you've used, you're missing out on the opportunity that recovery gives you. Which is discovering your full potential. The latent potential that's inside you that addiction is there to bring up and out. So your goal should be, have I reached my full potential today? What is My full potential? Who am I without crystal meth? Who am I destined to be? And have I gotten close to that person today? That is how you can measure success. Not whether or not I've used. Because then your mind is only focused on not using the substance instead of getting better as a person. And when you get better as a person, you will naturally want to quit using the substance.
