Welcome to the secular section Stayinfree.
Yeppers, Secular Connections is a forum for those that would like to do a recovery program other than AA.
What keeps me on track with living a comfortable life without harmful substance addiction is a combination of things. CBT/REBT make up a good part of my addiction treatment. As I think of addiction as a brain disorder/disease, so therapies that deal directly with changing thinking and behavior makes me believe I'm on the right course with recovery.
Zen philosophy is another tool that helps me make a deep psychological rearrangement that I feel is important in order to maintain a pleasant sober and free life style.
Being here at SoberRecovery is another great tool I benefit from. I learn from the wide variety of people that post examples of 'what to do' and 'not to do' here. As well as participate in a recovery community.
I also go to support groups in the real world and join in on safe social activities where my sober lifestyle is honored.
Those are some of the key points that I can think of this morning that I do so that I can live a life that promotes a healthy lifestyle.
