Impatience during addiction recovery actually makes it take longer because you skip the learning that needs to happen. Slow down deliberately for a week, and you'll get where you want to go faster.

Are you somebody who says, I can't believe I've been using Tina so long and I haven't been able to stop yet? Listen up. The world is in a hurry. In fact, it's said that human knowledge is doubling every 12 hours. We are fiends for instant gratification, from getting a text back to meals arriving at our doorstep. We cannot seem to wait or enjoy the process anymore. And those of us with addictive tendencies are even worse. Our nervous system is constantly triggered in a way that We cannot even drive to the gas station without screaming at a slow driver. Let me tell you how recovery works. The more impatient you are with the recovery process, the longer you are prolonging abstinence. The energy you are feeding what you think is the end result is bypassing the learning opportunities along the way. It is counterintuitive, but the slower and more deliberate you are, the faster your heart's desires transpire. Try slowing down this week. See for yourself.
