I have asked Zencat to share his story with us, I think it will inspire you all. Take it
away Zencat!

Hello I'm Will a.k a. Zencat

What it was like.

A lot of highly intoxicated days end on end for a very long time. Same story as many
an alcoholic/addict, some days good some days bad.

What happened.

Some 17 years ago after an arrest, sitting in a jail cell a thought came to me; maybe
its time to stop drugging and drinking.

Well in those 17 years I have gone in and out of recovery/sobriety countless
times. Staying sober for a few years to staying drunk for a few years and all points
in between.

These words of wisdom "keep coming back" to recovery always gave me hope in my
darkest of times in active addiction.

So I have been trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying,
trying, trying, trying to stay sober/clean.

And it happened.

One year sober/clean!

What Changed?

Because of; asking for help, following directions, getting support, doing something
different, learning about addiction and recovery options, having a recovery
plan to put into action, being of service and letting-go.

All of these key points have saved my sanity, my freedom and my life countless times.

What it's like now

Many days I'm in a good mood. On other days when my mood is low. I can at least
manage those low moods and stay safe because of my recovery tools and support.

Having a recovery plan to practice is just the best way to live for me. It's not just
addiction recovery practice, but an all around practice of living healthy that inspires
me to give more of myself and to live peacefully.

"Letting-go" has been one of my biggest life lessons. It doesn't take any effort and is
available any time of the day.. It is teaching me patience, gratitude, forgiveness,
tolerance...well the list goes on and on.

A special big hug of gratitude for all the SR moderators. I have been helped a great
deal because by them.
Thank you.

The whole SR community is an amazing place. So many knowledgeable members take
the time to pass down knowledge/experience for everyone willing to learn/practice
something new. That is just beautiful. Wow I have been helped so many times.
Thank You.

With much gratitude thank you one in all.
Respectfully Will G.

Thank You Zencat!!

Everyone may begin signing in again for the next 24 hours. Roster
will be posted 24 Hours from now at 10 pm EST USA 4/2.




How do we start?


With all of the ups and downs in our lives, it is easy to get discouraged in early recovery.
Especially because we are starting to feel again.

We may slip and slide, stumble, come back and stumble again. It happens. Please
just keep coming back and stay honest.

One way to keep ourselves motivated is by remembering we are not alone and
we don't have to do this alone.

Getting clean and sober may seem like an impossible task to some. Yet there are millions
doing it all over the world through SR, AA, RR, Smart Recovery, counseling, you name it.

How do we start?

We start with a commitment. Today I will not drink or drug no matter what. Come hell or high
water I will reach out for help in SR or an AA meeting or call a friend before I pick up a drink
or drug. We put that drink or drug off hour by hour.

We take baby steps and those baby steps will add up to success.

We have to make realistic goals. For example, we can't expect after a couple months
of sobriety our lives to be perfect and our relationships be healed.

There may be consequences that we have to face up to.

There will be difficulties, setbacks, ups and downs, it may or may not take years to repair
past damage.

But we stop projecting, we stop predicting the future and we do what is in front of us. We
allow others to help us carry the load.

If you are new or coming back please look into all routes to recovery. Have an open
mind.

Don't reject something you know nothing about or have heard bad things about. Form
your very own opinion. The very thing you could be rejecting just might save your life.
Check it out for yourself and give it a chance.

The greatest form of ignorance is rejecting something we know absolutely nothing about.

Drinking and drugging was only a symptom of something deeper going on with our
thoughts and behaviors. If we do not address these ingrained thoughts and behaviors we
are in danger of relapsing and never making it back.

We have to have a plan?

If what you are doing is not working, what is holding you back from taking real action and
forming a plan? If we go after recovery with half the vigor we went after drugs and or
alcohol we stand a good chance.

If we could have thought ourselves clean and sober we wouldn't be here today. We can't
trust our thinking in early recovery. We need a plan. We need support. It is what will get
us unstuck!
