Now that we have "turned our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him" I give my troubles , my miseries, my frustrations over to God I no longer have to worry or do anything as God will miraculously take care of it all. WRONG. True you longer have to worry " if you worry don't pray, if you pray don't worry." That part is true God will take care of all . However with God it is a two way street. And as with any great gift come great responsibility, now have you are required to work on being more patient, tolerant, caring, giving and loving towards others. As well as this Just because we've turned all this over to God, does not mean I get to laze around in bed or on the couch doing nothing, as stated before this relationship is a two way street, God does not put my pants on in the morning. For example If I'm unemployed and need to find a job to support myself, and family, Then I need to take the appropriate actions, God will guide me and just may find getting a job in the strangest places doing wonderful opportunities , However this will not take place if I'm not doing my part in making ready showing up and doing what is required. When I do My part and watch for signs Then absolutely miraculous things will happen. I must always take responsibility to do my part. And God will do his and more than likely part of mine.
remember God does not create 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.
