Do we choose addictive behaviours or do they choose us?

"People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures." Matthias Alexander
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." Aristotle
Is any addiction a decision? Do we really have a choice?
Welcome to this week's #FridayFix where I start to explore these statements and questions...
My name is Jo Burnett and I'm the founder of Go Get Sober. I use this channel to share my story of stopping drinking and living life sober. It's for you if you want to stop drinking or are struggling with alcohol and it's for you if you've stopped drinking and want some motivation and inspiration to help keep you on track.
My videos are all about how much better life is when you're sober. I share how my life has opened up, how I've re-discovered the real me and how I'm more authentic and happier than I ever thought I was when I was drinking.
The common theme to my experiences and videos is that you don't lose out when you stop drinking, you gain so much more than you can possibly imagine. Life doesn't stop when you get sober, it starts!
I also share some tips and strategies on how to make stopping drinking and staying sober easier on yourself. I usually post a fresh video for you every Monday morning.
Go Get Sober is a structured online programme that uses cutting edge coaching and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) techniques to help you stop drinking easily and ENJOY being sober. It offers different types of memberships so you can choose the one that works best for you.
We give empowering, positive and solution-focused advice, help and inspiration so that you can create the life you want without alcohol.
