Here's one you might know; "Everybody else does it"- one of the most common excuses used to justify almost any behavior no matter how wrong in itself. The more people we can adduce who do something which we are trying to justify in ourselves, the more is our own guilt minimized--so we think. And in the thinking we do salve our conscience, don't we? But do we really deep down? And do we change the basic law/value/principle we are breaking? Now really do we? Doesn't it remain the same even if everybody else does act contrary to it? Is right still not right and wrong , wrong, no matter how many want to do it?
Here's another favourite---"I'm not a saint"--A very potent excuse for any fault, wrongdoing or behavior, that I may not to or willing to correct. And the funny thing about this excuse, it has more truth than the most others.There can be no doubt about it--I'm not a saint. However do you have any concept of what your higher power will say way you try to pass that one off . After all the help. opportunities and grace you have been granted. I would not want to be there for that one. Let's face the truth of it We use this one when we know we are wrong period, we are just attempting to avoid taking responsibility. On a side not what is a Saint, was it ever stated that a Saint doesn't or has never made a mistake.
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.
