Action

[Biscuits]

I took some stuff away with me to read that i had written within my first couple of years in program and it felt like i was reading about another woman, one who was plagued with self hate, jealousy, possessiveness, fear, insecurity, resentment and self obsession.

Most of the time i do not feel like this, God has performed many miracles in my life and i no longer go along life feeling like the worlds out to get me.

One thing that did jump out at me was how eager i was for recovery, i was desperate for it and knew there was nowhere else i could go. I was eager to try anything that was suggested to me.

Here are some of the actions i took back then that helped me into recovery and keep showing up for life.

Write a food plan
Write about my feelings and share them (dump the crap)
Read literature daily (Big book is fantastic)
Turn my life over to HP
Keep in touch with sponsor
Reach out to newcomers
Don't over analyse why something works just do it
Act as if anything is possible
Do not compare or compete
Always be honest
Treat myself with love and kindness (Act as if until it feels real)
Never stop trying
Never run away through fear
Take time out when stuggling and ask for redirection from HP
Don't get caught up in other peoples problems
Get out of Gods way
Pray for recovery
Forgive myself, God already has
Be willing to try what suggested
Trust myself
If all esle fails sleep, its better than food
Never forget i have a desease

All of these actions have helped me stay in recovery, i still do most of them on a daily basis but none of this would have been possible without God giving me a complete change in attutude, he allowed me to put my ego aside and learn from others who have walked this path before me. To all my wonderful friends and teachers who were willing to share what worked for them i give a huge thank you, i could never have recovered with you.
