In the rooms, when talking with others or reading the literature, there 9is the constant mention of God. You cannot escape it. So does this not tell you something? The point is – That spirituality – The belief in a God is fundamental in this program. You’ll hear people refer to the spiritual part of the program. Well they haven’t completely gotten it yet for there is no spiritual part of the program! It is ALL a spiritual program, from top to bottom. No if’s ands or buts.
However the best part of this, or to say the saving grace. The part that makes it acceptable to all, is 2 (two) parts. 1) You don’t have to be religious or convert to any religion. 2) Is NO one can tell you what Deity to believe in or how to believe; only that you must find a God of YOUR understanding, it is your choice and a very intimate personal thing. However this needs to be done. There are those who claim to be atheists, however even those have found some sort of spiritual path.
This is needed for various reasons. 1- Being that it is a spiritual program based on spiritual principles, 2- to know and have belief in the truth generates a positive power for day to day living. Knowing that you are on the path of right gives the mind, body and soul the strength and courage to go on and face the day, to face adversity, to overcome trial and tribulation. To give joy in a life even when it would otherwise appear gloomy and have thoughts of “what’s the point?” A spiritual path of your own choosing will overcome all and bring joy. After all isn’t that what we have always been chasing-HAPPINESS.
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.
