C Is for care. Care for yourself, make hea9lthy choices. Good food, relaxation, rest, meditation, good company and the list goes on. Not self-centeredness, don't continue to act out in your disease. Be your own best friend.  |

 F is for Faith. Many years ago my mother said to me, "Is your faith so weak, it hits the ceiling and bounces back?" Have been needing some faith building lately. The rabbit in Jamie Sams' book stands for fear. Fear and faith can not occupy the same space. |

H is for honesty. Some people believe their lies. Sometimes when we are in the midst of something, we can't see the forest from the trees. That is when i have to go to a higher authority, my God, my sponsor, my spiritual advisor.

is for Isolate. Because of Covaid19 and I think there is another one out there, my city is in the red zone. That means I need to isolate more than ever. Isolation is not good for the soul. What are you feeding your soul? Take a walk in nature while practicing social distancing If that isn't safe for you liik out your window. If you are not like me, buy a plant I look at them and they die.  |

 L is for Love. When you come from a place of love, yo can go too far wrong. when you detach, unlink the chain of love. We detach because we do love. |

O is for Ouch. Now we are no longer medicating ourselves and shutting out the world, we find we have a lot of ouches we didn't know we had. Emotions can come out physically, we suffer from body memories, and the mental and emotional abuse has deep scars, all of which takes time to heal. We didn't get this way overnight, and we don't heal overnight. No quick fixes, just a path to freedom from active addiction.  |

P is for Powerless. I am powerless over people, places, and things. When I surrender to the program and my Higher Power, I am empowered to do what I need to do in today to maintain my sobriety.  |

Q is for Quit. Quit the debating whether you qualify for this program. Stop comparing and learn to identify. Quit using people, places and things in today.  |

T is for Trust. Build a relationship with your God and learn to trust Him.
We are asked to turn our will and our life over to the CARE of the God of our understanding. In Step Eleven it says the GOD e understood, as a result of working the Steps.
It takes a lot of trust in order to recover.
