RECOVERY - WHAT'S THE POINT?

Qu: So what’s the point of recovery?

Staying alive! Addiction is a slow form of suicide… not intended but very effective! Recovery involves being alive inside rather than compulsively numbing out! After the initial ‘thawing’ and working thru the early moods, new positive emotions emerge!
Relating to others: Opening up to the world around… rather than being closed off and avoidant. 'Walls' have been built up over the years to keep others away… that also keep those who may help you away too. This is a chance to take a risk and let the good stuff in!
Finding inner resources that have been buried beneath a pile of unfinished business!
Grieving all the losses and moving on in life… all losses can be worked thru in a recovery program… or even better – psychotherapy!
Realizing the dreams that have been long forgotten… all that creativity and giftedness. If you are recovering in a mid-life stage then it’s a perfect time to completely review all that has gone before and look ahead. Click here for Audio book suggestion
I’ve seen many; many recovering persons quickly emerge from the dark world of drugs and alcohol and go onto completely new lives. I’d include some ‘lucky’ extremely psychologically damaged persons in this too… often people who were written off by the psychiatric community! How is this possible? The only explanation I can give is that this is the work of higher being! All the more reason to check out some spiritual tools.

Peace,

Brian
