We are NEVER alone anymore. This is what recovery offers us. So, when you choose what recovery path choose wisely. Choose a plan that gives you back to power to choose to wear your shell on your back. A path that has a provision to stay recovered for the rest of your life. A path that doesn’t require me to look backward at my past (except when helping someone). When we do this, we can live the absolute that our recovery is a journey for our lifetime. Here are 3 things I must do to ensure this is true for me.
Stay grounded in the truth that set me free
Be open to adding new elements to my plan
Pray for and assist others along the way
Doing these things will add to the absolute position I decided to take. Thanks for listening and be blessed.

Do you remember as a child all the games that you would play with friends, brothers, and sisters if you had him? We would play games like Ring Around the Rosie, Duck-Duck-Goose, Tag, and Dodgeball.

One of the games that were most popular was Hide and Seek.

When we first arrive in recovery we are questioning many things. We are questioning if we’re making the right decision. We are questioning will this work for me. We are questioning if follow through with the path we decided to try.

In order to give freely we must first take down the walls of personal secrecy and begin to share who we are and not judge what we learn about others. As a word of caution, let me say with some things we may need to be careful to whom and what we disclose, but for the most part we should feel free to “share our experience, strength and hope with each other”.
