You don't get Recovery by OSMOSIS

Hi there, I apologize for the lack of posts this weekend, I will just say there was technical issues and family issues. If you ever need to speak to someone or are in need ALWAYS FEEL FREE to email Me at the above email address which is wiledchild@live.ca.

Well back to the topic at hand, I was at a meeting friday and a speaker spoke on doing the steps and having a relationship with self before he could have any other relationships of value, and the work that this entailed, a few other speakers followed along the same aspects to varieing degrees. Then this other gentleman spoke and strenously voiced his opinion that this was a prgram of suggestions and that he had just about 2 years and hasn't bothered doing all this work that everybody was talking of and that it wasn't really nesssacary and it was just a waste of time. He stated that all this work was not required for sobriety he was the example.

Needless to say I felt compelled to share at this point. I shared that , the gentleman was perfectly correct this is a program of suggestions, It is suggested that if you wish to get "HAPPY JOYOUS and FREE" do the work, it is suggested that if you want longterm CONTENTED sobriety do the work, and on these are suggestions if YOU WANT what is offered. Yes some people can come in and attend meetings and gradually get some semblance of DRYNESS. However if you read the literature or remember4 some the earlier posts, It is stated that alcohol/ drugs or whatever is a sympton of our disease. I furthered shared that I've worked with many who didn't think they had to do all the work, only to watch them relapse come back continually get maybe 1-2 years as much as 5, yet continued to go in and out and their live really never change just gradually get worse oh yeah better for a short period of time, even worse is the ones who got great emotional pain and commit suicide all because they would not do the work or go out and drink and/or use one more time and they DIED just BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T DO THE WORK . so let's look at it this way do the work and get a life better than anything you would have ever imagined. or don't do the work and keep getting what you always have gotten, and I'll even give you a guarantee if you do the work for a year, if you don't like where you life has gotten All your misery will be cheerfully refubded.
Remember GOD does not make garbage
