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.

Trudging the road of happy destiny????

Trudging the road is just part of life. Without the rain would we appreciate the sun? Another one of those nice and fluffy clichés. You know what I say about clichés. However when you’re in the midst of trudging the last thing you want to hear is clichés. I know I’ve done my share of trudging. As a matter of fact I am currently trudging. I’ve been looking for new employment for almost 5 months now and not finding anything financially suitable. Living hand to mouth, building up a larger and larger debt load. Been fighting worrying about it. However I know this too shall pass (another lovely cliché). We all run into hard times. Times when it seems that the whole world is against us, or at least it feels that way. Times when it seems we just can’t catch a break. Times when it seems that our God has forsaken us. It’s in these times when we believe as a whole we’ve been doing the right things and living a principled life. That the committee really works hard. The short cuts seem so appealing. The justifications are all there. However it is in these times when we must be ever vigilant. We must pray more; spend more time with loved ones that support us. We must give of ourselves more. Do more meetings, talk to our support group and sponsor more often. Even though at these times we’d rather not. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, doing what is right and what is right in front of us. I know that things are really not as bad as I sometimes feel they are. In all reality it’s just not where I want to be. I know that my God will take care of me and your God will take care of you for in fact even if we perceive God differently it is the same God. I also know for history has taught me this is not the first hard time we’ve faced and more than likely not the last. And just like the last time it will pass we will have learned something and be stronger for it. The sun will shine brighter, happiness and joy will be renewed. For our God did not bring us this far just to forget us. Have Faith
Remember God does not create Garbage
