Creating new and healthy habits to replace ones that you learned as a child growing up in an alcoholic and dysfunctional family takes time.

First, you'll need to reflect on your personality and be honest with yourself. What behaviors are currently unhealthy for you? Why do you keep doing them? It's important to be open and not berate yourself during this step. Be kind to yourself.

Next, focus on a foundation that's positive and put away negativity. When learning new and healthy behaviors, starting off thinking you'll fail or with negativity will create a self-fulfillment loop.

And finally, allow yourself the freedom to grow, to make mistakes, to learn.
