Call Recovered About The Paradoxes of Recovery

150 150 Mark S
People who work good Twelve Step programs have found a spiritual remedy that restores their faith in the universe and all things. They have found peace and reconciliation for their behavior during active addiction, and they have implemented a new system of behaviors and beliefs that seems to address all manner of problems. And whether they realize it or not, they’ve embraced the paradoxes of recovery.

How The Program Works For You – Recovered 1232

150 150 Mark S

If you recently started a recovery program, congratulations! You have gotten over a major hurdle and have the opportunity to set a good foundation for a sober lifestyle. As you progress through your recovery process one day at a time, consider incorporating positive actions of recovery to help you create, and live, a better-than-normal life.

 

A big part of recovering from addiction and living a sober life is being good to yourself. For many people in recovery, taking care of your physical, emotional, and spiritual health becomes the focus of daily life. Rebuilding your life after addiction involves taking positive actions that reinforce your sobriety, and also allow you to feel fulfilled and to experience life in a way that is better than it was when you were in active addiction.

There is magic and miracles in AA.  Go to any meeting long enough you will see people recover from the seemingly hopeless illness of alcoholism.  No one thought they would survive. It took the power of the program to heal us. It is generally considered that the AA program, as embodied in the 12 Steps, works through its emphasis on five important ideas: Honesty, Openness, Connection, Spirituality, and No agenda.

Not Fitting In – Recovered 1230

150 150 Mark S

Before we ever picked up a drink, we didn’t fit in. We felt different. But when we started using, we became accustomed to living in a world where drugs and alcohol provided us the ability to cope. We finally fit in. Then the bottom came.

In early recovery, coping with this new way of living is hard. We are not happy, joyous, and free like the others we see. At the same time, we are not using. We don’t fit in again. The pink cloud vanished.

Now, we were told it’s time to get to work. It’s time to develop the coping skills we always lacked. It’s time to work on a program of recovery. In the process, we developed intimate relationships with like-minded people and a host of coping skills. We found the cure to Not Fitting In.

Tonight, we talk about Not Fitting In.
