Relapse Promises (below)

Our Awakening 

The relapse promises

If we dive head-long into a relapse, we will be amazed before we are halfway through. 

We are going to know a new pain and fresh misery. 

We will regret our actions and feel as though we have lost control. 

We will comprehend the words addiction & insanity and we will know self-loathing. 

No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see that we can still sink further and experience more pain. 

That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will re-appear. 

We will lose interest in our fellows and gain interest in selfish things. 

Self-seeking will be our way of life. 

Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.

Fear of people and of economic insecurity will return. 

We will intuitively know how to sabotage our lives and the lives of those we care about. 

We will suddenly realize that we are doing for ourselves what even our worst enemies would not wish upon us. 

Are these extravagant promises? We think not. 

We witness them frequently and we see the results - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we give in to them.
