No Magic Wand - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

We all have got to want to change, if we want to get better. And as hard as it was for all of us to get to recovery, if we want to stay here and are not willing to let ourselves be changed by being in recovery, or we're fighting to hold on to the way we were doing things before we got here we're wasting our time with recovery. Recovery is all about us changing the way we were and are, and the way in which we all do things that wasn't working for any of us. If we want to keep doing things that way, recovery isn't going to work and we should go back to where we were and hope that somehow we can become willing to do what it takes for us to want to change the way we are. There is no magic wand that's used in recovery. It's only through wanting change, and doing what it takes to make that come about, do we change.

I definitely was looking for a magic wand for a while because I didn't want to use effort to get recovery. I finally saw I was not getting it on a silver platter
