Making Amends and Forgiveness – Recovered 1320

150 150 Mark S

Making amends and forgiveness of self and others are critical components of the recovery process from drug and alcohol addiction. Addiction often leads to harm and damage to relationships, and the process of making amends can help to repair broken connections with loved ones. When you acknowledge the harm they have caused and make a genuine effort to make things right, it can go a long way toward rebuilding trust and fostering healing. This process of making amends can also help you to let go of any lingering guilt or shame they may feel, which can be a significant trigger for relapse.

Forgiveness is also an essential aspect of the recovery process. Many people who struggle with addiction carry a lot of shame and self-blame, and forgiveness can help to alleviate those negative feelings. By forgiving yourself, you can learn to let go of past mistakes and focus on the present moment, which can be crucial in maintaining sobriety. Additionally, forgiving others who may have contributed to your addiction can be a powerful way to release any resentment or anger, which can be a significant barrier to recovery.

Tonight, we talk about making amends and forgiveness

Self Care – Recovered 1318

150 150 Mark S

Self-care is crucial in a 12-step recovery program as it enables individuals to take responsibility for their well-being and maintain their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Addiction is a chronic and often debilitating condition that can take a toll on your mental and physical health. Practicing self-care helps you to manage stress, improve your mood, and reduce the risk of relapse. The 12-step program emphasizes the importance of self-care as an essential part of the recovery journey.
Self-care includes activities such as exercising, eating well, getting enough rest, and engaging in hobbies and other enjoyable activities. 

These activities can help individuals to reduce stress, increase self-esteem, and improve their overall health and well-being. Self-care also involves setting healthy boundaries, learning to say no, and taking time for oneself to recharge and relax. These practices are especially important for you who may have neglected your own needs in the past.

Tonight, we talk about Self Care.

Gratitude – Recovered 1316

150 150 Mark S

Gratitude is an essential aspect of a 12-step recovery program from drug and alcohol addiction. One of the main reasons why gratitude is so important is that it helps individuals in recovery shift their focus away from their problems and toward the positive aspects of their lives. By adopting an attitude of gratitude, individuals in recovery can appreciate the small things in life and find joy in the present moment, rather than dwelling on past mistakes or worrying about the future. This mindset can help to reduce stress and anxiety and promote a more positive outlook on life, which is crucial for maintaining long-term sobriety.

Another reason why gratitude is important in a 12-step recovery program is that it helps individuals to cultivate humility and a sense of perspective. Addiction is often accompanied by a sense of self-centeredness, where the individual is focused solely on their own needs and desires. However, by practicing gratitude, individuals in recovery can begin to see the bigger picture and appreciate the support and love they receive from others. This can help to build a sense of community and foster a greater sense of empathy and compassion towards others, which can be crucial for maintaining sobriety over the long term.

Tonight, we talk about Gratitude.

Cravings and Triggers – Recovered 1313

150 150 Mark S

Cravings and triggers can be major obstacles for those struggling with addiction. These intense desires to use substances or engage in addictive behaviors can be overwhelming and challenging to resist. Overcoming cravings and triggers is crucial for those in recovery, as giving in to these impulses can lead to relapse. One effective way to overcome these cravings and triggers is by using a higher power. By relinquishing control and trusting in a higher power, you in recovery can find strength and support to resist the urge to use.

The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a program designed to help you overcome addiction and live a sober life. The steps are based on a spiritual approach, which encourages you to connect with a higher power and seek guidance and support. The 12 steps provide a framework for personal growth and healing and offer a pathway to recovery that has been successful for many of us.

Tonight, we talk about the Cravings and Triggers.
