Family Unity - not Medication.
Medication offers a 'quick fix' which all addicts want. However, the process of staying sober and clean after getting sober and clean demands work over two to five years. Initial minimal substance abuse treatment, 4-5 hours per week, when combi...

Spiritual Conversion, not Medication!
Recovery from a "hopeless state of mind and body" requires faith that is sufficient enough to stop the cravings and help the addict/alcoholic to enter treatment. This is necessary. I get high and drunk and we set sober and clean.

Addiction is Killing us as a Country
The impact of alcohol and/or drug abuse is causing impairment in politics, education, business and parenting. It is ruining our families. Our greatest ally is accurate and appropriate information on substance abuse.

There are five feelings: glad, mad, sad, fear and guilt. All other feelings are subsumed under these. When you label the feeling, you can work with it. You can begin to let go.

I believe that recovery from addiction takes much work. There is no magic solution.

We are becoming more and more clouded by dependence upon unnecessary drugs to include alcohol and Cannabis. This way of life leads to a desperate need for power, control and self sufficiency, reliance only on self. Thank God for those who fight for abstinence and clean living. Our way of life is worth its weight in gold!

We get to get sober and clean. I hope I never forget this. I read about it daily and talk about it daily. More importantly, I listen to others talk about it daily. Most importantly, I pray to remember it each morning,

One of the biggest joys is to share the same day with my friends, Alan and Bill. I now am part of a great Fellowship. Cards from my Mother and Sister have helped me today as they have for the time I've been sober and clean. I have one for each year. I am blessed. God is good!!!

My recovery is a gift yet I had to do much work to get it and much work to keep it.
Most of the work is spiritual and mental.

Contentment is liking what you have.
Joy is loving what you have.

I believe in drug free recovery with God and those who show us how it's done. Money is not the goal.

We retrain our minds to be positive through prayer, listening to our peers, reading and meditating because now we can. This is a gift available if we work for it.

For most, it takes a year or two to settle down, detox physically, mentally and emotionally. The first step is honesty about our dilemma, followed with spiritual efforts to do whatever it takes to reverse the damage to self and others.

Successful recovery entails developing maturity and sound thinking, devotion to a higher cause. Money, job, relationships success will follow.

Treatment consists of having a coach and a Daily Program of recovery learned from recovering people over the years. Abstinence and a lot of work, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically are necessary. The work is good work!

Drug/alcohol treatment takes much work. We need to be clear headed and motivated, not drugged.

The best way is to use the way of successful recovering addicts/alcoholics. It is a "doable" path to a successful life.

The newest part is usually being sober and clean - dealing with reality. The good news is that you don't have to do it alone.
