Spirit

I have watched people come into recovery all beat up, stomped and fearful. None of us know how to live clean and sober. It is a 'daily reprieve from active addiction' that we are all granted. My experience is that people who, no matter how raged or twisted, slowly change through the steps.

Many people who were fools when they were using, once they get clean are still fools. The below the line is how bad do you want to get clean. Are you willing to do what ever it takes to get clean and sober? Or are you only going to 'try' it out?

One does not 'try' out recovery. You are in recovery or you are not. There is no in between for us. My life begins with the first step. If I do not continue to left, right, left then my ego will keep me stuck in the past and the misery that we so quickly create. My life today has every thing to do with recovery and no-thing to do with recovery. My spirit leads me.

Ask your self ' if the program disappears tomorrow' are you going to still stay clean and sober and follow your spiritual path? Are you still going to listen to your spirit and be of service to others.
