When I was in rehab 24 yrs ago beginning
my recovery journey, I was about 30yrs.
old with 2 little ones toddling around, married
for about 8 yrs and a stay at home mom.
Family intervened on me getting me help
I so needed at that time in my life and state
of mind. Alcohol was the culprit and now I
had to learn how not to drink a day at a time.
Rehab for 28 days allowed me a good start
in my recovery with no alcohol around to tempt
me, allowed the fog to clear from my mind
to receive some important information about
addiction and the affects of drugs or alcohol
on the mind, body and soul.
When I left, I had a new Big Book of Alcoholics
Anonymous, a Twelve and Twelve Step Study
Book, a little 24 hours a Day meditation book
that you can use each day for strength and
meditation.
I used those books everyday, bringing them
with me to meetings to follow along, write
important notes in them and help me study
and learn this new way of life in recovery.
It's just like going to school. Listen to the
messages, Learn, Absorb and Apply new
lessons each day as you travel on ur journey
and the Promises as written in the Big Book
of AA will come to light bringing you happiness,
health and honesty in ur life.
