Besides, even if it was possible to imagine a life without chemicals, most of us do not want the existence of such fairy tale. The idea of sobriety pushes us back, because we imagine that we will be unhappy without our medicament of choice. I know it because I was in the past in this jump very - off: put off by the way I had become so much depending on some drug and poor, but unable to imagine a positive life for myself in future.
Then, how can we skin drugs and alcohol, how we manage a life with this visible "vacuousness" which is sobriety?
First of all, this space which is so much feared by the newcomer something else than a huge mountain of fright is (the one who is the paper - slim, to take back a quotation Lakes). Only while walking across this fright and at giving your new life in the recovery of chances which you can begin understanding how this "space " without drug and the alcohol was nothing more than a phantasm, and every person who supports the cape in levy is going to harvest rewards them for a rich and complete life. Understand, however, that you will not be able probably to persuade a drug addict or alcoholic in the catches of it. They have to accept it on blind faith that their life is going to improve.... As me.
Use of a programme of healing as a guide to live
They say that recovery is a plan of action. This is absolutely true. You can see proof that any recovery must be a programme centered on action when you begin looking at successes and comparing them with countless persons with tendency to fall again still and still. The main difference can always be measured in terms of action and of monitoring. People who make relapses often speak a good match. But it does not prevent that whoever sober. To live without drug and the alcohol requires an action on a daily base, and it means discipline. Why discipline? Because actions that to complete to you successfully every sober day to be necessary to repeat, still and still. It means that you must find and assess with care what works for you in the maintaining of sobriety.
A programme of recovery (as the programme in 12 stages) is supposed be an objective together of directives, to load the ex-drug addicts and the alcoholics on the way of living their life in day from day to day. Now all that is very nice, and can indeed help many people to live without drug and the alcohol. But remind that a programme of resumption is nothing by itself, she becomes useful after an individual who interprets her. And afterwards he is interpreted, he is not objective any more. It became now a part of this direct experience of the person.
The programme subjective of recovery
Every programme of resumption, it doesn't much matter which is the working programme or the measures which they follow or this book, they are reading, am subjective. Any programme of recovery first have to be interpreted by an individual and then implemented in this daily life nobody with the intention of being efficient.
At the beginning, we have to make say what to make, and the way of remaining clean. There are some programmes there, and an infinite number of interpretations of these programmes. But we are in recovery in a sad state, out of control and fright at making decisions even about our own life. We know that we are beaten and that we need assistant.
As we grow in recovery, we begin seeing that the programme which we followed everything has along several interpretations. It exists of many winning of recovery: the persons who got a sobriety, significant in the long term. And among these laureates, we see that their precise realisation of recovery varies by little.
For example, him ya winning in resumption who ever meditate. Some of them have even never tried. They could pray in the upper power, or find a sense within a spiritual group, or make other things which they consider to be spiritual exercises, but they never meditate. It is not good or bad, he is simply.
On the other hand, him ya winning in resumption who base their way of life around meditation. They are fanatics of meditation, and it becomes their spiritual basic practice. It becomes a way of life for them. Is it good or bad? Certainly not.... It is simply. The point is to show that the programmes of recovery are really subjective. They are not engraved in the stone and only opened to an unique interpretation. It is enough to look at the broad fan of examples of success in recovery so many different persons, the realisation of the sobriety of sense of so much in a different way! Do not hesitate to make or to be afraid of this diversity, because it is reason to celebrate. It brings hope for the drug addict or alcoholic who thinks that they will never be to take him up in a programme of recovery.
But let us return to question: How can I live without drug and the alcohol?"
He ya a big word around the tables of AA: «Take what you need and leave the rest. "This is to take literally as judicious advice. You must find your own way in recovery. Nobody can show you the precise way, because a lot of the itinerary is about introspection and to discover who you are and whom you are supposed to be more (ie this true job of God for you is).
Yes, you are in trip, and you are going to sail your own at least a part of this one. Others can help you a lot, but at the end, you will find your own way. Everybody ends up finding their own way, what means that they can look behind during their recovery "program" and say "yes, I can see now how I adapted these ideas to be included into my life. And it worked for me!
Good chance to everybody there who works a programme of recovery. Do not be afraid to find your own way.
