Smile recovery acronyms

PUSH - Pray until something happens.

SLIP - Serenity loses it's priority.

WAIT - why am I talking?

FROG - Fully relying on God.

JADE - I dont need to Justify, Argue, Defend or Explain to anyone.

FAITH - Finding answers in the heart.

NUTS - Not understanding the steps.

QTIP - Quit talking it personally.

HALT - Don't get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired.


More welcome.

I recently had a SLIP and was shortly back to being NUTS.

Now I'm again Fully Relying on God.

Ironic. I've never been big on frogs, but my daughter gave me a cute bag for Christmas that I love. It has has a zen yoga frog all over it. The frog acronym is new to me and now my bag is another reminder to fully rely on God.

Whatever works to remember how to work my recovery!

I had a meeting where NUTS was the topic but it was said as Not Using The Steps. lol

I just read about FEAR False Evidence Appearing Real.

My favorite is AFGO, Another F***ing Growth Opportunity. Basically the optimistic view of a bad moment. "How can I use my program to get through this AFGO?"

RELATIONSHIP--Really exciting love affair turns into outrageous nightmare. Sobriety hangs in peril.

SOBER

Son of a Bitch Everything's Real.

So. SO Applicable to both addicts and loved ones. All about acceptance and no longer buying into an alternate reality (one's own, or someone else's).

I really love JADE. I need to remember that one. (It's part of not buying into someone else's reality!)
