Hello all
I have been reading the original Rational Recovery book, the AVRT stickies, and using AVRT to stay sober.
I have a Big Plan.
I am having trouble grasping at the concept of making a one time permanent decision. Not because I don’t want to, but because that seems logically impossible.
I can’t make a choice for a year from now, just as I can’t go for a job one year from now. I can plan to go for a jog one year from today’s but when that day comes, I have to choose to stick by my plan.
Live is only lived one day at a time.
I am not disparaging AVRT or permanent recovery
I’m asking how to get it...
I want a final, permanent decision
But it doesn’t feel like my AV is preventing me from a future choice
It feels like simply the laws of reality/physics
That I can make a Big Plan
But then I have to use AVRT one day at a time
I don’t understand the permanence aspect
It’s impossible to guarantee anything in life
Please help!
