“Why do I keep doing this?”
“How does this keep happening to me?”

You might ask yourself these questions when you feel trapped in patterns that create problems in your life and keep you from achieving your goals. Despite trying to make changes, you somehow end up in the same place, time and time again. If this sounds familiar, you could be sabotaging yourself. Self-sabotage refers to behaviours or thought patterns that hold you back and prevent you from doing what you want to do, hence hindering your own success (Healthline, 2019).

How does one fall into the slippery slope of excessive substance use? During substance use, the brain’s rewards system gets activated - eliciting a feeling of pleasure and euphoria. As such, this rewarding feeling that users are experiencing may become so profound that they neglect their normal day-to-day activities just to facilitate their substance use, causing major disruption to their everyday lives.
