Yes this is my personal mesh of 12 step philosophy mixed with the Nike logo. I do this because I believe in Easy Does It, however I seen this philosophy used as an excuse for procrastination “I’ll get around to it” to avoidance to downright ignoring it. There is a lot to be said for Easy Does It, there is no point doing something and rushing through just to do a half assed job and screwing it up or even making it worse. There is nothing wrong to putting something off till you can give it the proper attention required. However putting something off because it is uncomfortable, or hard. Saying I’ll get around to it, or avoidance is just plain bullshit. Just Do It, Get it over with and more than likely the fear of it was nothing more than the workings of your mind. Many times I have had to face something that seemed large and insurmountable. The challenge appeared to be like attempting to jump the Grand Canyon on a 10 speed only to look back after and seeing it was nothing more than a puddle. A dragon that was nothing more than a rabbit.
It’s like a lot of the stuff I’ve posted here. You are never going to accomplish getting it all overnight it is a process. However nothing will ever be accomplished without taking the first step and as equally important continuously putting one foot after the other day after day. Establish a regular daily routine for yourself. Time is the great equalizer. I don’t know about you, but I was out there using and abusing, lying and cheating for 20 years. That mindset, behaviours and life doesn’t change overnight. The old-timers used to tell me it’ll take 5 years to get my head out of my asse, and another 5 to get the ring off my neck. I didn’t believe them when they told me this. They just weren’t as smart as I was. They didn’t have the resources I did. After 5 years I understood again at 10 years I had a better understanding. In 25 days I’ll be celebrating 18 years Clean and Sober. I’ve learned a lot in that time, one of the things I’ve learned is I still have so much to learn. Even with all I have learned I still have not mastered it all. It’s not what you know in your head as a theory, It’s what you live on a day to day basis.
The Journey does not end. It just gets more exciting. Because it’s all about the journey and how you experience it. The destination is mute.
The 12 step Program is not something you work into your life A bit at a time, or what is comfortable. It is not something you practise when you have the time. It is something you submerse yourself in. It is a way of life. A total way of living, of dealing with life. It is a way of living that will make sense of this insane world we live in, and allow you to be Happy Joyous and Free beyond your imaginings. You are worth it. This is your ticket to Ride in 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.
