Hello All, Being a new member I just wanted to say Hi!
Sponsorship is a strong suggestion – not a rule. Yes, some people do stay in recovery without a sponsor. And no, we can’t recover on our own.
They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty. Their chances are less than average. There are those too, who suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders, but many of them do recover if they have the capacity to be honest.
This statement from 'How is works' says a lot about me. I am finally realizing just how much I have lied and the results are painful. Today I will not lie and am now willing to so whatever it takes to start living what I have learn through the years in AA. Just another bottom. With the help of my Higher Power and my friends in the program and open mindedness I can grow from this experience as I have done other experiences and move on in life.
Well the doctor might has his report saying your condition is getting worse or is still there, but that is not what Gods report to me is. Every morning when I open my eyes and hit my knees and pray for the willingness and acceptance to live my life today the way God wants me to I get his report on my condition. He tells me to have faith in his plan and I do. So every day my faith is strong and I turn my will over to God I have no fear in what the doctors report says or the future might hold
Old patterns grip us so tightly! Even when the behavior pinches us painfully, we are loathe to give it up. Its familiarity makes it tolerable, knowable, somewhat manageable, and far less scary than trying something new. However, we are truly the luckiest people alive because now we have a training ground where it is safe to try new behaviors. We can discard old, self-defeating patterns in the safe environment of these Twelve Steps.
We are on this recovery path because each of us wants a new life. We have grown sick and tired of the old ways that no longer work. And we have come to believe that change is possible if we look for it in the right place. This is the right place! At any meeting we can see others who, like us, are trying on new behaviors and meeting with success. We are role models for one another, and every time one of us tries a new response to an old situation, we are all heartened and stretched a bit. We know that what another can do, we can do too. As long as I stay out of the way today change is possiable once I try to get things my way it's right back to the same old situation filled with fear anger and all the crap that follows.
God Bless Ray
Hello, This is an exciting time for Recovery Universe. I have taken a long break from actually being involved in the site. Real life has taken me away. I recently had the opportunity to pursue my life long dream of doing computer programming as a profession. Unusual circumstances afforded me the ability to make another HUGE life change. It has been extremely rewarding and challenging as well. In the last couple years I have become alot more comfortable with web design and programming. I have learned alot of new techniques and in turn plan to share them here. Because I am working in the field I find my computer use at home alot more limited. Let's face it, by the time I get home the last thing I wanna see sometimes is a computer. The thing that has been lacking for me is doing it as a hobby. I am starting to miss that. What better way to get back involved with designing and programming as hobby, than working on my favorite, first site I ever created. This has been long overdue... Just a few things you will notice in the new site are:
So what are you waiting for? Go explore! It's been really fun throwing this 4th version of the site together. There are tons of cool new features and hidden jems. I can only hope that you all like the new site 1/2 as much as I enjoyed creating it! Yours in Recovery! -James Del Priore. |
