...See more I've been going through recovery since the end of March. I've had quite a few "slips" which I call relapses. I call them relapses because I know mentally I can't handle a small slip. I drank til I blacked out almost every night for almost 10 years. I've been on 7 cups trying to get help and I also go to aa trying to build an army. But even then I find myself questioning why am I working so hard but I'm getting nowhere when in reality any day sober IS getting somewhere. Today in aa I meantion that I haven't been as sober as long as the rest of the people in aa and someone spoke up and said we've all been sober the same amount of time today and thats since we woke up. Even if I have to keep keep grabbing that 24 hour chip is a step forward. This meme tells me that everyone goes at a different pace when it comes to recovery and that's okay. As long as we are all headed in the same direction.

...See more I just felt like this made an impact into my own life that I would share. Found in the blue book ch 6 pg 82 If we have no such complication, there is plenty we should do at home. Sometimes we hear an alcoholic say that the only thing he needs to do is to keep sober. Certainly he must keep sober, for there will be no home if he doesn’t. But he is yet a long way from making good to the wife or parents whom for years he has so shockingly treated. Passing all understanding is the patience mothers and wives have had with alcoholics. Had this not been so, many of us would have no homes today, would perhaps be dead. The alcoholic is like a tornado roaring his way through the lives of others. Hearts are broken. Sweet relationships are dead. Affections have been uprooted. Selfish and inconsiderate habits have kept the home in turmoil. We feel a man is unthinking when he says that sobriety is enough. He is like the farmer who came up out of his cyclone cellar to find his home ruined. To his wife, he remarked, "Don’t see anything the matter here, Ma. Ain’t it grand the wind stopped blowin’?"­

...See more Recovery Awareness Event Day One Reaching out is very important in the recovery process. You don't have to do recovery alone. Almost everyone has an addiction of some sort. A problem said out loud is a problem cut in half. During the recovery process some people build an army and some people just have that special someone that helps them through their recovery with not only supportive words but assertiveness. Activity: This is an easy one. Show appreciation to fellow listeners, members, or anyone outside of the 7cups community by listing three words of their personality traits that stand out to you the most through your recovery. Reply to other members on this subtopic the personality traits that you can relate to that also helped you through your recovery so we can all see how our recovery relates with others. How to reach out on 7 cups? Go to an addiction support forum and find a listener or consider therapy? You can always also check in today on the forum. You are not alone.
