You mentioned that you are going thru
a divorce. Right? We all go thru things
in life such as death, divorce, jobs, buying
a car, home, getting married, having
children, accidents, health problems,
surgeries, quit smoking, dieting, retirement,
and so on that is part of daily life.
They can also add joys and stress on us
mentally, physically, emotionally as
we as psycologically.
In recovery we learn how to deal with
each thing as they come and having a
strong solid recovery foundation with
support and help so that we never have
to deal with or go thru any of them alone
or by ourselves.
A sponsor may show concern when
something big is about to happen in
our lives to reassure us and recommend
we stay close with our program to guide
is thru all those difficult moments and
the roller coast of emotions we experience.
It is suggested that we stay connected
to our program so that we don't wait
till the last moment and feel so over whelmed
and can only think about is reaching for
a quick fix like drugs or alcohol to numb
our pain, stress, frustration even if its a
joy, reward or accomplishment that would
only make matters worse or cause us to
relapse and have to start our recovery
over again.
There is nothing in this world bad enough
to make us want to drink or use that a
recovery program cant solve for us in
a healthy more effective manner.
