Addiction & Recovery

"Each person in recovery has to develop a set of tools to use that works for them because we all have different personalities and history."

..Some people meditate twice or three times a day. Some meditate after exercise. It is up to each of us to figure out the best course of action and use of the tools to stay sober. What works for someone often does not work for someone else. Yet the bottom line is "Keep Coming Back." When we isolate, we get into our own heads, and often that is not the best place to go. It might be a very difficult place to go.

..When we go to meetings, we are forced to listen and watch. That gets us out of our own self thinking prison. Listening and talking to others helps us in ways that each of us appreciates and understands. Sometimes, it is not easy just to listen.

...Often it takes time to develop the use of the tools that works best. But in today's world, many of us are looking for an instant answer to our problems. The same instant answer that we used to get when we used our substance of addiction. I took a long time to develop the tools that work for me. Most of us take some time to develop those tools. For me, I think about two ideas..."If it were easy, it would be easy " Also, "If it were easy, really easy, then everyone would be successful in recovery." Do not give up, Good Luck, and "Keep Coming Back"
