Learning how to remain sober for
almost 4 yrs. is a huge personal
accomplishment and is something
to be extremely grateful for because
it isn't easy.
Now that you know how to stay sober,
you can start working on other life, healthy
issues that plaque many of us each day.
There are quite a few recovery programs
to follow and incorporate in all areas of
our life to help us build a strong recovery
foundation to live upon for yrs to come.
Everything in life is a learning process. We
learned how to avoid people, places and
things associated with alcohol so that we
are not tempted to fall back into our dreaded
illness, dis-ease.
Continue to learn all that you can to help
better yourself, to strengthen yourself,
to love yourself, more, to forgive more,
love, care, undserstand, communicate
and so on.
If health is a problem, getting a full check
up to make sure all your insides are working
well because as we get older, we go thru
many changes, mentally, emotionally,
physically, physcologically etc.
Not only do we age more, so does our
insides, so what use to work back in
the day, we may need to tweek some
things today. Our bodies may need a
certain vitamin which we could get in
the right foods we eat, but then if we
don't eat them, our bodies maybe lacking
that certain something to help us function
better.
Like a car, if we don't take it in for a
check up and put in new fuel or oil
then our car will operate sluggishly.
If we don't know what to do, we ask
for help from our fellow SR members,
our doctors, someone who is supportive
of your recovery and understands your
needs.
If sleep is a problem of concern, speak
to your doctor, always reminding him
or her about your continuing recovery
success and that it is extremely important
to you and your program to not be given
anything narcotic or habit forming.
Depression and anxiety along with alcoholism,
diabetics and many other illness out there is
nothing to mess around with or to take lightly.
We want to be happy, healthy, to feel good,
well rested, pain free from things, so never
hesitate to seek answers to the questions
that will further you along in your own
recovery journey.
