Are you convinced that there is no way that you will ever be one to be totally free from addiction? What keeps you resigned to this negative view of your future? In today's episode we look at five areas of loss that can keep us stuck in negativity. Then we flip the script and discuss the "I Can" attitudes that usher in the feelings of Why Not Me? Doubt doesn't have to disappear, but we need to recognize it and replace it with confidence!

Today's walkabout episode takes us to Dire Straits Park. We'll look at difficult, desperate and dangerous times that you may have faced in your addiction. Then we'll see what others wrote in the journals about how they survived extreme conditions, made some extreme choices but found their way through the Dire Straits to sail forward in recovery. The quote by American actor Joshua Graham rings true "I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me."

Today's episode is the last walkabout in Change Park. This one is on the In The Moment Trail. This trail focuses on staying in the moment, embracing the moment and enjoying the moment, rather than reacting to it. The 5-4-3-2-1 exercise is introduced as a powerful tool to stay in the moment and create a "muscle memory" that we can utilize at any moment.
