Hello my fellow aliens. Yes sometimes it feels that we live in a different world than mainstream society. I guess that’s what comes with the territory, when you get a second lease on life. Oh well, not so much of a price to pay for a new life. Anyway the posts have been pretty heady lately. So I believe it is time to discuss an absolute necessity in sobriety, to keep your sanity. And to remain clean and sober. This very important aspect is—that you MUST absolutely have some fun once in awhile. I mean if there is no fun how long would you remain clean and sober and continue this arduous path. Seriously though we need to have fun, it is an absolute necessity. You have to take your inner child out to play once in awhile. Yes in appropriate places and times. There is nothing wrong with being a little nutty once in awhile, in all actuality it is quite healthy. Emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. So yes it’s ok to play in the puddles. Take your shoes and socks off and play in the mud. Do some finger painting. Dance in the street. Hop to the bus. Have a food fight with your kids and/or spouse. Be a little crazy once in awhile. Give yourself permission. It’s healthy and you’ll feel better. Remember you are not in this world to live up to anyone else’s expectations. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having fun. As long as it’s not at another’s expense and is appropriate place and time. Remember to Live, Love Laugh. We got clean and sober to be JOYOUS, Happy and free.
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.
