How Do We Stop Obsessive Thoughts?


Blue speaker icon symbolizing sound or volume.How do westop obsessive thoughts?First we need to recognize and name those exaggerated, nagging, overwhelming thoughts that are based on fear.

Obsessive thoughtsconsumed me a year ago. A close family member’s addiction worried me to no end. Mythoughts were rooted in the fear that my loved one would die of the addiction.

Picturing him suffering alone and disconnected from his friends and family would take me on a downward track of emotional pain. Literally I saw the red flames of hell as I spiraled into the depths of my out of controlobsessive thoughts.I needed help.

Detachement

It has been a process ofdetachementthese last 5 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 thoseobsessive 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 practiceddetachement.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 person at a time. This is a peaceful and lengthy practice 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 continue to pray for all my loved ones. I am so grateful for the tools of Alanon and my sponsor for helping me tostop obsessive thoughts.
