A New Life In Recovery

 

 

Recovery from drugs and alcohol is a whole new way of living. Many express their experience in recovery similarly to the amazing peace, joy, and happiness found, as outlined in the promises from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous:

The Promises:

If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.

Fear of people and economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves. Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us-sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.

Not all individuals respond to a spiritual solution when it comes to recovering from the need to abuse alcohol and drugs. However, even those who utilize other methods of treatment, which newliferecovery.net firmly supports, do report feeling "lighter, happier and free". We like the promises because for alot of us it does express our experience in sobriety. Whatever works, works and we have many treatment models listed on this site to chose from.
