La recuperación también puede proporcionar una comunidad
Cuando comencé mi viaje de recuperación, estaba plagado del habitual zumbido incesante dentro de mi cabeza con el que solo los adictos y los neuróticos compulsivos pueden identificarse:
Diversión y Fraternidad en las convenciones de SA
La diversión en la recuperación era lo último que tenía en mente cuando entré por primera vez en las salas. Estaba en el fondo y pensé que mi vida nunca volvería a ver la alegría, y mucho menos la diversión. Me descubrieron y posteriormente destruí mi matrimonio y las relaciones con mis hijos adolescentes. Nunca pensé que 6 años después, redescubriría la alegría en mi vida y me divertiría en mi recuperación.
R de recuperación y recorrido
Antes de unirme a SA, realizaba actividades con un objetivo enmascarado: encontrar o ser encontrada por un "marido potencial". Me estremezco cuando pienso en estas locas motivaciones. Mientras hacía el cuarto paso, mi madrina me preguntó si aceptaría la vida si nunca me casaba. Fue una pregunta muy dura y me vi justificando mi sueño de casarme algún día.
Keep It Simple, Stupid!
I have always worked a simple program because that is the only way I'm able to do it. I wasn't able to write my inventory like the AA Big Book recommends with the columns system. But on page 109 in the SA White Book the directions were simple which allowed me to do my inventories.
Thoughts and Thanks From Prison
Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. Your letter was not anticipated so receiving it made it all the more special. I am grateful to have had 18 months between being “busted” and being arrested in which time I was able to become sexually sober, attend SA meetings, work the Steps with a sponsor, reunite with old friends in AA, and receive professional therapy.
I Am the Only Person I Can Change, and That’s Hard Enough
I will try to share my experience, strength and hope as it touches upon the role my father Roy K. played in both my addiction and recovery. It's been a bumpy road for us both, thanks to our addiction and character defects.
Fun and Fellowship at SA Conferences
Fun in recovery was the last thing on my mind when I first stepped into the rooms. I was at rock bottom and thought my life would never see joy again, much less fun again. I had been found out and subsequently destroyed my marriage and the relationships with my teenage children. I never thought that fast forward 6 years I would rediscover joy in my life and have fun in my recovery.
R is for Recovery and Riding
Before joining SA, I did activities with a hidden agenda- to spot or be spotted by a “potential husband”. I cringe when I think about these crazy motives. As I was doing Step Four, my sponsor asked me if I would accept life if I never got married.
Recovery Can Also Provide a Community
When I first started my recovery journey I was plagued with the usual incessant buzz inside my head that only addicts and compulsive neurotics can identify with:
В Израиле очень активный Комитет по Информированию Общественности
С того момента, когда я начал принимать эту Программу всерьёз и начал работать по Шагам со спонсором, который работает по Шагам со своим спонсором ( и т.д. ), мне стало абсолютно ясно, что наш основной фокус и главная цель - это Двенадцатый Шаг, несение вести.
