Acceptance is one of the most important tools in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. There are many things that are out of my control, but if I can accept that everything is the way it’s supposed to be at all times, I might be able to attain inner peace. This is often easier said than done. If you’re like me,
you want
what you want
when you want it.

Matt, let’s go to you first.
What does acceptance mean to you?
How did you learn about this concept in early sobriety?
Did you have an ah ha moment?

For the alcoholic, loss or disappointment are usually involved in this acceptance process.

When you were new, tell us about your experiences of loss and disappointment.
What losses were you experiencing?
What were some of your disappointments?

In early sobriety, did you try to force certain outcomes, were there some consequences you were trying to avoid?
Did you get the outcome you desired?

For me, I had to accept that things were as they were. I was in denial of reality because I really didn’t like the reality of that time.
In early sobriety, did you struggle against reality? Give specific circumstances.
How did this affect your energy level?
How did this affect your mood?

What is the serenity prayer?
What is your experience with the prayer?

What does acceptance look like today?
Do you struggle today regarding desired outcomes?

What are you trying to accept today?
What tools, steps, prayers, slogans, traditions, are you using?

What would you say to the new guy?

I want to be in charge of my own life and maybe even the lives of those around me. I want to get my own way,
And I can get pretty upset when I don’t. Accepting rather than controlling usually brings me serenity.

Friends Outside the Program – Recovered 755

Some have recommended that those who are in early recovery

(the first couple of years)

limit contact with former drinking and drug using friends.  

This is not to say they are bad, just maybe not the healthiest choice during early recovery.  

We will explore this position.

What are your thoughts on this recommendation, limiting contact with using friends early on?

Why do you think this is recommended?
What was your experience during early recovery?

Now let’s talk about later in recovery.
Let’s talk about after the obsession to use has been lifted.
Some recovery professionals say
one of the important tasks that people undertake in early recovery is to build a new social support network of people who support their sobriety. These do not necessarily have to be people in recovery,
but they should not be those who are actively involved in substance abuse.

This means that by the time the person has been sober for a few years they will have all the friends and support they need.

Thoughts, opinion?
Do you socialize with people who drink?
Do you find this awkward?
How do you react when people ask for permission to drink?

Do you socialize with people who actively use drugs?
Is this different for you thank for people who drink?
Why or why not?

Do you serve alcohol at home?
Why or why not?
