Now that we have discussed most of the uncomfortable feelings that the holidays can bring up, it’s time to look at Christmas as a whole. In all reality this is a wonderful time of year, as a whole people are a little nicer, when not caught up in the stress. That is basically the whole key. This can be such a wonderful time of year, and a whole new wondrous experience. The key is to remember all the suggestions. Stay hooked in; attend more meetings stay in close contact with your counsellor, recovery coach, sponsor and your support network. Spend the holidays with the people who truly love you for you. Keep centered and balanced, keep in close contact with YOUR higher power. You should be able to have one of the best Christmas of your life, if you follow these simple suggestions. If you’re anything like me it will also be fully remembered unlike many of my past Christmases before getting clean and sober, many of them are just a blur. Some thankfully.
It is truly a wonderful time of year with opportunities galore to be happy. After all wasn’t that just what we were always chasing. To be happy. This can be a glorious opportunity to experience the best of man, and to experience many wonders and the simplicity of love and giving.
Remember God does not create garbage
So enjoy.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
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.
