ABCs of Recovery

[caressa]

A is for Action. I need to take action, God doesn't do for me what I can do for myself. I need to find the acceptance, often having to change my attitude in order to move forward.

A is for: Action

Recovery is a verb! It requires daily commitment and Action.

B is for Bridge. I was told to burn the bridges behind me.

I had to construct new ones to move on into the future. I needed to build a firm foundation on which to build on. To firm up that foundation, I worked the Steps, went to meetings, talked to my sponsor and worked on me.

B is for: Balance

I take recovery very seriously but cultivating a sense of humor
will help us find Balance or that middle ground we need!

[caressa]

C is for Care. I must remember to care for myself. I must remember to top myself up and only give away the overflow.

C is for: Change
When we Change the way we look at things,
the things we look at Change......

[caressa]

D is for Desire. You have to want this program. You have to want to do it for yourself. I have seen it happen with so many people, when you do it for others, it will take you out if you don't find a reason to do for yourself.

D is for: Did and Doing
If I keep Doing what I always Did...
I'll keep getting what I always got!

[caressa]

E is for Everything. What do I need to change? Everything that stands between me and who my God would have me be in today.

[SunnyGirl]

E is for: Expectation
The higher the Expectation, the deeper the resentment.
Both are an illusion created by you.....

[caressa]

F is for Fear. Often we fear success as much as we fear failure.

[SunnyGirl]

F is for: Forgiving & Forgetting
Forgiving is not Forgetting. It's letting go of the hurt.

[caressa]

G is for Gratitude. An action word, I just can't think it, I need to show it!

[Lin]

H is ofr HONESTY....I had to get honest with myself before I coudl get honest wiht others.

G is for: Growing
“If we're Growing, we're always going to be out of our
comfort zone.” - - John Maxwell


H is for: Happiness
"The more we express our gratitude to God for our blessings,
the more he will bring to our mind other blessings. The more
we are aware of to be grateful for, the Happier we
become." - - Ezra Taft Benson

[caressa]

H is for Humble. The dictionary says to be 'modest' which for me, means to remember that I had help. I need to remain teachable ever open to learning and willing to admit, "I don't know it all!"

[SunnyGirl]

I is for: Isolating
The trouble with staying home and Isolating
is you get a lot of bad advice.......

[caressa]

I is for Intent. What are my intentions? Are they for my Higher Good and for the goodness of all.

J is for: Judgment
“Good Judgment comes from experience, and often
experience comes from bad Judgment.” —Rita Mae Brown

[caressa]

J is for Joy. If you are not enjoying recovery, what are you doing wrong?
