The only journey is the journey within. Rainer Maria Rilke
It is very easy to get caught up in too much substance use, it is sneaky and seductive, seems to make us feel better and takes away things we don't like. All of a sudden we don't really like anything but the substance use and after awhile we don't really like anything at all.
One of the questions I often ask is when was the last time you felt really good without using anything, really happy just to be alive, if it has been awhile then it might be worthwhile to change a few things in your life to see if you can get back to liking what you have.
Often we can do this ourselves, sometimes we need a guide, finding ourselves and learning why we are worthwhile, and precious is a journey. It is one worth taking.
