How do we stop obsessive thoughts? First we need to name those exaggerated, overwhelming thoughts that are usually based on fear.
As a result of a close family member’s addiction I struggled with obsessive thoughts a year ago. The thoughts were rooted in the fear that my loved one would die of the addiction.
I would picture him suffering, alone and disconnected from his friends and family. Those thoughts would take me on a downward track of emotional pain.
I literally saw the red flames of hell as I spiralled in the depths of my out of control obsessive thoughts. I needed help.
Detachement
It has been a process ofdetachementthese last 4 years. Going to weekly Alanon meetings, getting a sponsor, working the 12 steps of recovery, reading the literature and slogans have been essential for my recovery from the family disease of addiction.
A year ago my new Alanon sponsor said that I needed to interrupt those obsessive thoughts. How do I dothat? Detachementfrom the mind was the key for me.The mind generates thoughts, we do not. We are not our thoughts. We are spirit in flesh.
Standing at the doorway of my mind one day at a time I practiced detachement. When I observed the thoughts of my suffering loved one I interrupted them before they triggered obsession.Visualizing and handing him over to his Higher Power brought me immediate relief.
Then I replaced the painful thoughts with prayers for my loved one, myself and all my family and friends one by one. This is like a meditation since I have a large family and lots of friends.
About a month later I realized that the obsessive thoughts were gone. I continue this process of detachement from the mind. Daily I prayer for all my loved ones which brings me peace. I am grateful for the tools of Alanon that helped me to stop obsessive thoughts.
