Before we get right in to the Program. This is a must.If you want to avoid relapse and get the most out of the program and your life. This is not to make you feel bad, or to control you. It is to help you face yourself honestly, It also helps you create a beginning or opening in your psyche for open mindedness and willingness,
Let us help you along this road. I want you to get a pen and paper (might as well get used to it you'll be doing it often ) your going to write this. The main reason you write all this is vital ; It's not a social worker trying to build you up, or tear you down in their observations, It's not a parole or probation officer making it up without all the facts, It not a police officer taking notes, it not your pastor or mother trying to help you, it's YOU , and hopefully your being honest with yourself. When it's all written down you can read it over and see the TRUTH because you wrote it HONESTLY.
Now I want you to write down a brief alcohol and drug history of your using. Beginning with your first drink/drug and continue on through to today, include what you used/drank what happened what you were feeling and where it brought you.
Now I want you to write down all the promises you broke, all the lies you told to drink or use. Everybody you cheated or stole from to drink or use. All the people you heart including the most important YOU. Also I want you to write down all the times you meant to have just one or a couple, Or I''ll be right backs, and all the I'll never "do that again".
Now read it. Pretty clear . When it comes to drinking or drugging we have no real control. Can you honestly say once you pick up where you'll end up.
This is why we have to surrender and get rid of the EGO. YOUR HEAD has a contract on your ASS. This is not to say your useless or imply anything of the sort. You are GOD'S greatest creation, However when it comes to drinking or drugging. We cannot do it ALONE. HENCE SURRENDER
I CAN'T WE CAN
Remember GOD does not make garbage.

Real 12 Step Recovery
Real 12 Step Recovery, Getting and Staying Clean and Sober
WELCOME Hi There, this blog will be about what I believe to be REAL RECOVERY not band aids or feel good BS These are the hard cold true facts that I have learned and been taught by OLD TIMERS and People WHO HAVE REMAINED CLEAN and SOBER and "GOT A LIFE".There will be no original thoughts here, Because in essence there are no original thoughts only perhaps originals and/or different ways to present or illustrate old Ideas.Now that this is understood lets get to the heart of the matter. Recovery is not about coddling or enabling. IT IS LIFE CHANGING. PERIOD WELCOME to the hardest thing that you will do in YOUR LIFE. Make no mistake, Real recovery is not EASY, it is simple, very simple, Yet you will make it hard, as all before you have. Also let's get this STRAIGHT right off the top. REAL RECOVERY has nothing to do about ALCOHOL and/or Drugs. IT IS about the way you react to life, your perceptions, and YOUR actions. Alcohol and/or Drugs are just a symptom of YOUR disease. Take notice of the word DISEASE - Which in our case translates to ILL AT EASE or simply not at ease, which is the basic nature of our problem and answer to our solution.Back to why I state that this is the hardest thing you will do. I state this because Real Recovery Will challenge everything you know/believe or really what you think you know, Because you really don't know SHIT or you wouldn't need recovery. It will make you face the truth about your biggest problem YOU and YOUR THINKING. You will face the real you not the one we would like to see with all the justifications and rationalizations just the TRUE YOU.REMEMBER GOD DOES NOT CREATE GARBAGE >>>>>>>> If you have a request or enquiry Please Email me at wiledchild@live.ca I'd like to add one other thing here for all those who read this Blog. It's something that was taught to me That was invaluable to my recovery My Spiritual Advisor Taught me this. Don't believe a word I say , do not take what I say as the truth just because I say it or anybody else, for that matter. Check it out for yourself. Try it on for size. Investigate , find out for YOURSELF only use what you have read or heard as a reference point. Find the truth out for yourself . This way it is your TRUTH not someone else's. You will also not be believing a lie or untruth if you always check things for yourself . Do not believe everything you are told or read without checking it out.
