Recovery is not about becoming someone new. It is about finally meeting the person who was always there. She was there through everything. Through the years you tried to outrun her. Through the noise you manufactured to avoid her voice. Through every version of yourself you performed for other people’s comfort. She waited. There is a moment in recovery — quiet, unremarkable from the outside — when you stop negotiating with yourself and simply sit. No substance softening the edges. No distraction filling the silence. Just you, present and unguarded, perhaps for the first time. That moment is not dramatic. It does not announce itself. But something shifts. You realize the person you were searching for was never lost. She was underneath everything you piled on top of her. Patient. Intact. Waiting for you to get tired enough to finally come home. That is the gift sobriety gives you. Not a new self. The real one.
Recovery is not about becoming someone new….
It’s about finally meeting the person who was always there.

Eastern thought meets #addiction #recovery
You are the sky, not the clouds...
cravings, guilt and pain are just like weather...
You don't have to fight the storm...
They will pass and a clear day will follow.

Reading "How to Start a #Secular AA Meeting" (docs.google.com/document/d/1...)
From a letter written by Bill W in 1943:
“It must never be forgotten that the purpose of AA is to sober up alcoholics. There is no religious or spiritual requirement for membership..."

To anyone that suffers with addiction, the urge to act out can be so overwhelming and consuming that it can be hard to focus on anything else. Throw ADHD into the mix and you have a recipe for a deeply unhealthy life. If you're suffering, reach out. I'll be there to listen.

How could 12 steps feel so far away?
The layers of "feels" I have for this song. "He" is the one who built me.

How many times did we call Heaven 911 when we needed it?
"God, just get me out of this one and I promise I'll never do it again!"
...yet when we walk into a meeting and someone mentions a Higher Power, we throw up every argument against it...

Your first day #sober and you know why you need it.
The more you think you’ve got it all figured out… is much more challenging to your #sobriety
There’s a pattern… others have been there before… catch the signs before you go right back out

Uh oh. There’s a #man “sponsoring” a #woman at the #Panera table next to me, & laying out a bunch of #BDSM style rules re: her conduct & #sobriety that all involve checking in w/ him.
GET OUT, LADY!! HE’S NOT A REAL #12STEP #SPONSOR!!
None of my business 😑

The 12th step says carry the message to others. But you can't carry what you don't have.
Like oxygen masks on planes—secure your spiritual condition first. Then help others breathe.
Service flows from #recovery, not instead of it.

“I want to get #sober for my kids” sounds noble, but the truth is recovery that depends on others approval crumbles when we have bad days.
The strongest sobriety comes from internal commitment.
Your family benefits most when you choose recovery for YOU.

Making amends isn’t a transaction where your honesty earns their forgiveness.
It’s a unilateral act of repair: cleaning up your side of the street regardless of what happens on the other side.
The healing happens in your willingness to face truth.

I always feel like a bit of a dumbass when I realize the internal journey my higher self put me on is basically a 12-step program.
I went to a sex and love addiction meeting once at 28, but the “higher power” part?
I just couldn't get around it. 🧵

It's stemming from my 12 step work. I just want to have it on to distract me from fully feeling my feelings and being fully aware of my thoughts. Every compulsion I battle successfully with a 12 step program uncovers more ways for my brain to shield me from reality.

no television graphic -- tv with a red circle around it and a red line diagonally through it
Now that I've watched the final episode of #StarTrek Strange New Worlds a bunch of times, I'm going to cancel all my streaming services and aim for one month of no "tv". It's very tied up in my #12step work, and it dovetails with many of my current goals -- moving more, spending less, outside more.

Ppl ask why we call out #sobriety birthdays. It’s a congrats on a job well done, but mainly it’s a public way to demonstrate that a #sober life is possible.
Our stories are different, but the solution works all the same.

I haven’t had a drink or drug in my body in 11,323 days. Today I am 31 years #sober and that, ladies and gentleman, was not guaranteed when I started the journey.
Long term #sobriety is possible.
If I did it, you can too!
Life is Pretty Good.
