Some days feel heavier than others, and that’s okay. When everything feels overwhelming, remember, you don’t have to handle it all at once. Take it one day at a time, and if that’s too much, one moment at a time.
Breathe. You’re doing your best, and that’s enough.

"Awareness is important."

By Jermaine Galloway "Tall Cop" As Halloween approaches, concerns often rise about the risk of fentanyl or other drugs being hidden in children’s candy. At Tall Cop Says Stop™, we want to provide clarity: while the idea of drug-laced candy is a popular urban myth, there are extremely few documen...

The Substance Isn’t the Problem… We Are.
While going to meetings and working the steps may not be everyone’s idea of recovery, for many, it could be the missing piece that finally makes sobriety stick.
If we want something different, we have to do something different.
When we begin to understand that the substance was never really the problem—it was our way of coping—we can finally start addressing the real issue and begin true healing.

Working the Steps

“We were not problem users whose problems went away when we threw away our stash. When we stopped using, we found we had a problem with living; we were addicts.”
- Life with Hope, first edition, page 6

Ma*****na is just a symptom of the real problem, me. My thoughts and actions are just not right. I have both a feeling of grandiosity and low self-esteem. I think I’m not good enough, and that no one loves or likes me. I used ma*****na to cope with these feelings. Now that I'm not using, I really feel those feelings. There is a solution, the Twelve Steps.

When I work the Steps, I begin to recover. These feelings do not have power over me anymore. I get some peace and serenity. Through the Steps I am able to clear up the wreckage of the past, repair my relationships with others, and connect with a Higher Power of my own understanding.

I can live my life again. I get to be a productive worker at my job. I am reliable for my family and friends. I am a useful member of society. One day at a time, I don’t use. With the Steps in my life, I recover.

Final thought:
Today I will work the Steps and recover.

How do YOU define recovery?

What is Recovery?

“We are all unique examples of how the program works, each of us with our distinct gifts to share.”
- Life with Hope, second edition, page 69

I made this list when asked, “How do you define recovery?

A willingness to continue to go to meetings,
A willingness to continue to work the Steps,
Not being unconsciously bound to old patterns,
Not reacting in old ways,
Giving myself time and permission to feel my feelings,
Making choices based on the present,
Being able to take chances and to risk,
Being open and vulnerable with other people,
Allowing myself to be happy, joyous and free,
Being one in a community with other addicts,
Reaching out to my sponsor or a friend when needed,
Being willing to have a sponsor and be a sponsor,
Using the tools of daily prayer and meditation,
Never feeling alone anymore,
Knowing I have a Higher Power, even if I can’t define it, and
Using all the recovery tools in my spiritual toolkit.

Final thought:
Today, and every day, my recovery is the priority of my life; without it, I may not have a life.

Keep moving forward in your recovery journey!
Even when it doesn’t feel like you’re getting anywhere.
Even when it feels like you’re fighting a losing battle.
Even when it seems like no one sees you…
We see you.

The battle is worth fighting—because YOU and your recovery are worth fighting for!

We’re here with you as you leave the reruns of the struggle in the past and step into what’s next.
