I am 64 days clean and sober today by the Grace of God! So thankful to have the opportunity to be in sober living, enjoying an incredible fellowship of AA in Covington,to have a wonderful sponsor who guides me in life and with working the steps, to be employed and to finally be able to start to get some peace in my life. I thank God constantly for my blessings! Thank you Step Works for starting me on my journey of recovery because we do recover one day at a time!!! -
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. Copyright 1991-2016 by Narcotics Anonymous World Services, Inc. All Rights Reserved -

Yesterday I get a call from my sister she hadn't been able to get in touch with my mom since she left sober living last week. My nephew had walked in the bathroom on here she was passed out left stuff laying out. My sister was crying she's got almost 10yrs sobriety and still had a hard time with it. My nephew was crying in the background saying memaw dead cuz he couldn't wake her up. How do u handle something like that -
Anyone who is working in recovery, Do you ever find it hard when someone wants to leave without completing treatment? Sometimes I feel very sad when someone leaves, I find myself terrified for them and what may happen, and then other times I internalize it and think...”maybe I could have said or did something different on my shift” so then I feel guilty. If you have ever felt this, what do you do to get yourself out of that thinking and feelings of sadness -
