O is for Open. Open your mind to address new concepts, thoughts, and ways of doing things. Our best thinking got us to the doors of recovery. So it is best to think of finding solutions, to change our way into something that works.  |

P is for People. When I was using, I used people, places and things just as much as I used alcohol and pills. I looked to people to make me happy, to make me feel loved, for affirmation and validation. I found security and comfort in places such as my bed, my apartment, and at work, and never wanted to leave there. Work meant more money, which meant more security.  |
