You have chosen a new path. Your life journey has been altered, as always you have a choice. The choice is to continue on this new path, or go back towards your previous path. Your previous path was one of pain and destruction, both for you and those in your life, with no good endings, probable ending in jail, institutions and a painful and lonely death. However we cannot be certain where exactly your new journey will take you. We can say that along the way you will experience a new freedom, a happier contented life, with renewed respect from family, friends and self respect. A loss of shame and guilt. A life better than you could have ever imagined.
In an effort to increase your growth and your rate of growth, for a new found dignity and self respect. We would suggest a new daily regime for your recovery. Or perhaps better said might be a daily recovery program to go along with ‘The 12 Step Program” of recovery, you have chosen to follow.
Here is your suggested daily program:
Get up a ½ hour early each day, in order to accommodate some of these tasks
Ask your Higher Power for help, not to drink and/or use today
To overcome one defect
Eat a well balanced healthy breakfast, leisurely
Read one page in a daily meditation book or self help book and 2 pages in the text of your program
Talk with one of your fellowships and/or one of your support system about recovery
Pray earnestly upon waking and before bed
Perform an act of “random kindness”
Look for the good in each individual you encounter Today
Remember to practice your program in the home
Do not procrastinate, do not put off till tomorrow what can be accomplished TODAY
Review your day before bed and give thanks for another day
Attend at least three meetings this week
Live the 12 steps in all you do today
“It is said that 90% of the things we do everyday are “HABITS”, so let us make the above suggestions. “DAILY HABITS”
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.
