HOW TO AVOID SLIP UPS & STAY ON THE WAGON
With Dry January well under way and Quitters Day come and gone – those of you who have made it this far have got this cracked. Keep strong and you will sail through.
One of my Dry January tips to avoid slip ups is to understand the four ways you could leave the wagon – you could jump off, fall off, get pulled off or be pushed off!
If you decided to jump, it’s your choice. Yes, you might well be influenced by others, but it would be you who would take this final decision.
If you fell off, it would be your choice again because you can only fall off if you’re too close to the edge, or too close to wanting to drink.
If you were pulled off the wagon, it would be because you would have given in to others who are off the wagon; who beckoned you to come and join them. Or you would have allowed societal pressure, which continually tells you that being off the wagon is a good thing, to get to you.
If you got pushed off, you would have been influenced by someone on the wagon with you.
THE REALITY IS THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY THAT YOU LEAVE THE WAGON AND THAT IS THROUGH YOUR OWN CHOICE. YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR OWN DESTINY.
