Here it is Boxing Day, another Christmas in the books. I hope everyone had a safe and sober Christmas. Well here we are, another Christmas day gone. How many of you are going to endure the traffic and crowds of Boxing Day shopping? You know now that the actual Christmas day itself is done. Does not mean the spirit and the holiday spirit is over. For most they have today and tomorrow, some even the whole week. To relax take in the spirit of Christmas, it does not have to end with the end of Christmas day. Now is the time to sit back and relax and share more intimately with friends and/or family, especially now that the anticipation and anxiety of the day is gone. Now is the time for tending the ties that bind, the love, the closeness, the friendships. It is also time to be reflective of the past year, the successes the failures the lessons and the gains. To focus oneself for the coming year and the lessons challenges, it holds. To see where we have been and to ponder on where we would go. To connect with our God, and seek guidance on where God would have us do and/or be. To drink in your God’s strength, guidance, love and especially conscious contact that we may see clearly his will for us. Well until the morrow
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.
