Staying in that place of being stuck is a lot more difficult than the recovery process. I'm not saying the recovery process is easy. It's not. But I promise you, it's the hard things that are going to give you the best payoff. Listening to these negative thoughts that tell us it's too hard, I can't do it. It's never going to work for me. That is the problem in itself. We have to stop listening to these negative thoughts, recognizing what is going well. The recovery process and human behavior change is slow, and there's a lot of learning involved. The things that are worthwhile are not quick and overnight successes. I want you to recognize that, yes, this is not easy, but recognize even more what is going well, what small changes you are making, the knowledge that you have now that you didn't have before, all of this is helping you make progress.
