The most important reminder to myself is,
to not repeat old behavior again. Each step
you take building a strong, solid recovery
foundation, you also work at clearing away
the clutter from the past.
Speaking for myself, I was raised in a Catholic
family and education and yet, I am no saint. Yes,
I have sinned just as many have thru out their
lives. Once I entered recovery and learned how
to live life sober incorporating a guideline of a
recovery program, then, I began to heal.
Thru my 28 yrs sober, using willingesns and
keeping an openmind to change, I eventually
got honest for the first time in my life and
upon doing so, a new door opened to me and
I experienced a freedom I had not experienced
before in my life.
Honesty came when I let go of old
behavior, stupid stuff, unhealthy stuff,
sins that I was taught to not commit
at an early age.
As long as I remain sober and not commit
any sins or stupid stuff, then I can continue
achieving health, happiness and many more
of lifes amazing gifts life has to offer us and
to be blessed with.
Continue on your own recovery path and
many of those awful behaviors will be just
that and the new healthier, sober person
will emerge free from the past.
