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.

The Message not the Messenger

Never judge a book by its cover. You may miss the message. In essence always listen when someone speaks in a meeting. Even if you can’t stand the person. Sometimes even more then. Even if you know the person and you think they have no morals and/or principles. Even if they are a chronic relapse. Surprisingly these people can have the most profound messages of all. Just because they don’t seem to follow it or their words smack of hypocrisy. Does not mean the message is not sound. They may be saying what they need to learn. Or they might be saying what they can’t seem to get. Possibly God may be using them to send you a message. Always listen to the message. Not the messenger. I you were dying of thirst, desperately needing some water to quench your thirst and revive you. Would you care about the vessel it came in? Would you throw the life giving substance away if the cup were dirty, or came in a leaf? Also remember that this person may not be who or where you think they should be> However who died and made you God. This person may be an example of what and who you would like to be viewed as or who and what you would not like to be viewed as. Remember everyone has a message. Also remember that you do not live in this persons head/ skin, you do not know their life. There may be reasons not known to you the compels the actions and behaviours they have. Again who are you to judge? Judge not less thee be judged. Remember the part of the Lord’s Prayer “forgive us are trespass’s as we forgive those that have trespassed against us” Also interpreted “judge us as we have judged others”. Also might remember that you are not perfect, and how long ago was it when others regarded you the same way or worse. Remember always “But for the Grace of God”.
Remember God does not create garbage
