Im not sure where you are with your
Faith, beliefs, spirituality, but because
of how I was raised and the Catholic
schooling, upbringing, I have always
believed in God of my understanding.

Recovery, sobriety for me is a Spiritual
Journey helping me to live life and be
the best person I can possibly be not
only to myself but to others around me.

I never hesitate to look to the skies
and ask for help, guidance because
I cant do life alone, by myself. I need
Something, Someone stronger to help
me.

So between incorporating what was
taught to me in rehab and in the rooms
of recovery along with my Catholic
up bringing, today I am stronger, healthier,
honest in my affairs all to the best of my
human ability.

When we stop pouring poison down
our throats, allowing it to soak into
every pore of our being, skin, mind,
veins, heart, killing, destroying, eating
away at us, then we begin to heal.

Your skin will heal. Your color will
glow. Your smile will brighten. Your
mind will sharpen. Your heart will
beat stronger as the blood will be
pumping, flowing cleaner through
out your body.

You will see the stress lines in your
face soften and you will feel and look
younger.

It was told to me to look at the faces
of many in recovery and see the transformation
within them. The miracle of living a sober
clean life one day at a time. Follow suggestions
of many who have learned to live each day
without dependency on poison. Learn about
your addiction and apply it to your everyday
life.

My recovery belongs to me and I wont
allow anyone to mess with it. If I don't
remain sober for me then I have nothing.
No life, No family, No nothing.

Stick close to those in recovery and
allow them to help you, lean on for support,
as they show compassion, concern,
understanding, communication in
living a sober clean life.

The rewards of the Promises as written
in the Big Book of AA and here online
if you google it can and will come true
if you truly want them.

And I did. The journey in recovery
over the yrs has granted me these
awesome gifts to enjoy each day I
remain sober.

They are there for you and anyone
living a recovery life.
