To break addictions, Nancy suggests setting yourself free and starting a new chapter in your life. Slow down and be you. Look around and see what you are grateful for, people, possessions, or any event that you are looking forward to in the future. Focus on what uplifts you and when you compare that to the toxins, refuse to give those inclinations as much power as they have had before and focus on the positives. By reflecting on the advantages, you can learn from the past to stop yourself from succumbing to the addictions you once had. This will pave the way for you to take control and live full out.
