Im new here and im in recovery from drugs and alcohol . If anybody has advice to staying sober the paths to take that would be helpful -
What’s up guys, I’m a three time alumni from Stepworks. Yes I took it literal when they said “keep coming back”. I’m so thankful for the team at stepworks, giving me a foundation in step one was huge , this is the only step thy we must 100% do! The idea has to be completely smashed that we can drink successfully. If you don’t think so you can be a three time alumni too, if you make it back. Now I’m little over two years sober, have a beautiful God sent wife, and have visitations with my son set through the court. Take a suggestion, be honest, openminded, and willing to a new way of life. If you don’t believe me seek it out yourself what keeps landing you in jail, and institutions. Love you all and hit me up anytime, who knows it may help you stay sober today, I know it will help me stay sober today! -
Well I'm back after three years. Relapsed on the 16th (two days ago). I was mainly sad of disappointment. I feel better today. I think I'm lacking a sober community. -
I once heard an old timer say, "It's great to have many years sober, but recovery is really about quality, not quantity." This really made me stop and think about what constitutes quality recovery. When we see someone who has the kind of recovery we want, what are the aspects of how that person lives life that makes their recovery attractive to us? I would love to hear what the rest of you think. -
Im guessing no one uses this app anymore. I haven't seen much action. They gave me a lifetime membership the last time i was at stepworks. I wish i could find somthing that would actually work for me. Im guessing its me thats going to work for me, that or death, the one thing that we all get sober for. Its fucking rough. It seems the only thing I can feel is that for certain is that uncertaintie. Seems the only thing. Thats a certain thing... -
So this isn’t directly related to recovery, but I just had coffee for the first time since being at Step Works. I had a latte with two whole double shots of espresso and I think I’m losing my mind -
The Big Picture Page 106 "All spiritual awakenings have some things in common. Common elements include an end to loneliness and a sense of direction in our lives." Basic Text, p. 50 Some kinds of spiritual experiences take place when we confront something larger than we are. We suspect that forces beyond our understanding are operating. We see a fleeting glimpse of the big picture and find humility in that moment. Our journey through the Twelve Steps will bring about a spiritual experience of the same nature, only more profound and lasting. We undergo a continual process of ego-deflation, while at the same time we become more conscious of the larger perspective. Our view of the world expands to the point where we no longer possess an exaggerated sense of our own importance. Through our new awareness, we no longer feel isolated from the rest of the human race. We may not understand why the world is the way it is or why people sometimes treat one another so savagely. But we do understand suffering and, in recovery, we can do our best to alleviate it. When our individual contribution is combined with others, we become an essential part of a grand design. We are connected at last. Just for Today: I am but one person in the entire scheme of things. I humbly accept my place in the big picture. -
