Continueing book LOL
My friend Tony was talking in a meeting one day about if he didn't do something different that he was going to end up dead. I to felt this way and he projected a meeting for people who are having a hard time staying clean and sober. Then the thought came to me one relapser helping another relapser to keep from relapsing. What a powerful thought that this could be for one relapser can best understand another this might be the to a recovery process that will help to change the relapsers today. It's only through the program of recovery that has helped so many but a certain incrediable amount of people don't stay.
One of the biggest reasons why this is that we have to learn to work the steps at all times. This is a mojor factor for why a lot of people relapse we believe. The biggest step of recovery is Step ONE that we are powerless over our addiction whatever that is and that our lives are unmanageable. When the impulsive thinking happens we are not thinking or working our program, our guard is down. If we were working the program we would remind ourselves of step one or call a sponsor or go to a meeting. Butr we have right after this impulsive thinking the compulsive action how then can we break this visious cycle. Our problem reeally is centered in the mind.
There are also certain attitudes that we get when we are about to go out these are called RED FLAGS. We know from experience that these attitudes have and will take us out to the drink or the drug. Here is a list of the few that have come through our minds. It wont hurt me this time, It's not that powerful, I have a don't care attitude and I really don't care, The case of the Fucck its, I will show you who needs help, They don't care, Don't you know who I think I am, Watch me, this list could go on and on. But what we do know is that when we have an attitude of gratitiude, these thoughts are not with us.
