  January 24 From isolation to connection Our disease isolated us... Hostile, resentful, self-centered, and self-seeking, we cut ourselves off from the outside world. Basic Text, p. 4 = Addiction is an isolating disease, closing us off from society, family, and self. We hid. We lied. We scorned the lives we saw others living, surely beyond our grasp. Worst of all, we told ourselves there was nothing wrong with us, even though we knew we were desperately ill. Our connection with the world, and with reality itself, was severed. Our lives lost meaning, and we withdrew further and further from reality. The NA program is designed especially for people like us. It helps reconnect us to the life we were meant to live, drawing us out of our isolation. We stop lying to ourselves about our condition; we admit our powerlessness and the unmanageability of our lives. We develop faith that our lives can improve, that recovery is possible, and that happiness is not permanently beyond our grasp. We get honest; we stop hiding; we show up and tell the truth, no matter what. And as we do, we establish the ties that connect our individual lives to the larger life around us. We addicts need not live lives of isolation. The Twelve Steps can restore our connection to life and livingif we work them. = Just for today: I am a part of the life around me. I will practice my program to strengthen my connection to my world.

Lookout folks this old boy's got 17 months today. You happen to been with me when I went through treatment you would have think that was not possible just like I did but I promise you if you do what they say go to a meeting everyday for about 90 days find you a home group at a sponsor and get your head together your life will start changing an amazing ways this old boy has a job possibility with my former employer that fired me before I went to treatment now that's cool God stuff Richard you think. I'm starting to love life again I'm starting to realize I don't have to be in control it's not my job. I was told after a meeting awhile back it was time for me to take God's clothes off they're too big for me so I was told to go home get on my knees and tell God that he could have his clothes back I'm going to wear mine now and that's how it's going to be. You know that sounds silly but guess what it's working I'm realizing things about me that I never thought possible you know life is good now guys hang in there. 17 months just unbelievable -
So as everybody knows I haven’t been on here in a while. So let me start out by saying I apologize to all I have to be honest here I backslid down this slippery slope of addiction finding myself doing the same old things that I use to quit going to meetings quit calling a sponsor so I’m back in full swing of my recovery stepworks of London sorry I haven’t been in contact once I quit doing all the things I was taught to do there I went on my path of destruction. I’ve caught it before it goes any farther I don’t wanna live a life full of nothing but drugs or alcohol you’ll be hearing more from me again I had to open up and be honest I had to tel someone so why not the recording me family I’m gonna grab the bull by the horns again only hoping to succeed in my recovery God is good and great but where relapse starts is your thoughts decisions and actions that will lead you to a sober life or the addicted life I thought I had it smoked when you graduate a treatment facility remember this your going back to the real world where everything is it takes you also it’s never a graduation but a continuation I’ll speak more at a latter time good night to all prayers please. -
One day you will tell your story of how you've overcome what you are going through now and it will become part of someone else's survival guide.

Thankful for another day clean. Thankful I was able to hit another milestone in my Recovery of 9 months. Welcome to any newcomers, anyone just coming back. Welcome Home. Never Alone Never Again. I struggled in between my 6-9 month period. I feel like I was lost at times, wasn’t having trust or faith in my HP. I was able to realize why and that was me not trusting the process completely. I lose faith and I lose being clean. I’m thankful to know I can start my day over at anytime. Recovery is my life. I won’t graduate but I will continue to work on myself, steps, and live this new way of life. I don’t have to pick up in between the struggles or hard times. Call 2 addicts is what was recommended to me and that’s what I do! Everyone stay safe! Anyone struggling hang in there! Reach out before picking up! #RecoveryIsPossible #Recovering
