A-Z of Addiction Recovery - C is for CHOOSE

Choose

When an addiction takes over the life of an individual, the person loses the ability to choose. The alcoholic does not ask, "Should I drink today?" They just drink. The drug addict does not decide to use drugs, once the addiction has control of the mind, it loses the power to choose, and just uses. In choosing recovery, many new options open up that were once undreamed of. Choosing how and when to get help, choosing abstinence with support that you have chosen, and then choosing the path you want to take to continue your recovery are all very empowering. Put the power of choice to work by choosing something different today - something worthwhile. It's your choice.
