The thought that "something is wrong with me" can be one of the biggest roadblocks to success in recovery that I know of

"Humility is recognition of truth. Your worldly accomplishments are a gift bestowed upon you by the Universe, nothing is possible without the support of the invisible realm of the Infinite Mystery. When you know that you actually do nothing and are simply a channel for the Good, Abundance, Joy and Peace that already existed before your birth to be rearranged to your preference you will be in harmony with Life. The minute you buy into being the doer of anything you have taken yourself out of the flow and stepped back into Ego thinking. All things have been created by the Joyful will of the Infinite Mystery, Life is an experience of making choices about how you want to arrange things in your life. You can choose to arrange things in a Fearful, Egoic way, or you can choose to arrange things in a Loving and Joyful way. When you choose Love and Joy you align with the greatest and highest Good and begin to express your unique creative perspective while at the same time feeling a oneness with everyone else. This will leave you with a feeling of wholeness, joy, peace and gratitude."

The thought that "something is wrong with me" can be one of the biggest roadblocks to success in recovery that I know of. I'm not talking about the kind of "something is wrong with me" in the being sick and needing to go to the doctor kind of way; in this case, there is an imbalance in your system and it must be corrected. I'm talking about in the "I need to be fixed to be successful and happy" kind of way. I believe that the thought "I need to be fixed" is one of the only things you need corrected in order to be happy and successful. If it were true that you did not need to be fixed- that as you are, you are enough, that you have everything you need, right now, then everything in your life would change. The chase would stop. The need to "fix" yourself would stop. The need for outward approval would cease. Instead of needing to be fixed, from a place of wholeness, you would simply see that your only real need is for who you really are to be revealed. If you could switch this one thought, this one perception, from the need to "be fixed" to the desire to "be revealed," it would make living your life at your Highest Potential much more achievable. Instead of thinking you need to "fix" the part of yourself that is addicted, take the stance that the healthy and vibrant part of your true nature needs to be revealed. Instead of thinking that you aren't enough or aren't loveable, see that all you have to do is reveal your enough-ness and loveable nature by trusting your higher power and knowing that you can handle whatever it throws your way. Instead of playing the broken victim, step into being a powerful co-creator of your life in recovery.
