Managing negative thoughts can be a challenging journey, even for the strongest individuals. It’s essential to remember that negative thoughts can lead to addiction which is a disease of the brain, not a moral failing. You are not a bad or flawed person. Like other chronic diseases, addiction, anxiety and depression require ongoing care to manage. Recovery is a lifelong commitment that won’t always be easy, but it's possible because problems have solutions.
