Addiction of any substance is an highly hard thing to accept. When we eventually realize that We have a job it is up us to acknowledge it. Once we have accepted that we are addicted we have made the first and most of import measure to recovery. We learn that one time recovery is what we want in our lives there are stairss to take these stairss is to intend we are ready to wholly give yourself to a higher power. This higher power can be anything or anyone we want it to be. whether it be God or person we can truly swear and depend on. There are 12 stairss to recovery that will assist us remain clean and assist us be successful in remaining in recovery.
This we call the 12 Step Program. ” The first measure to recovery is we admit we’re powerless over our dependence and our lives have become unwieldy. This means acknowledging weeven have an dependence job. By stating your life has become unwieldy provinces that we don‘t want to go on populating your life the manner have been during your dependence. Our dependence has taken over our life. and acknowledging that we’re an nut helps us take duty for our actions alternatively of faulting others as we did earlier. The 2nd measure is we have come to believe that a power greater than ourselves could reconstruct us to sanity as we knew it.
For most of us our higher power is god. We would give everything to our higher power and inquire him for forgiveness. We so would declaim the Serenity Prayer to assist us. The Serenity Prayer is God grant me the repose to accept the things I can non alter. the bravery to alter the things I can. and the wisdom to cognize the difference! ” This is a really powerful supplication as I feel today. The 3rd measure is that we’ve made the determination to turn our will and our lives over to the attention of God as we understand and know him. We allow him to steer us through the recovery procedure we are traveling through.
He lets us cognize that we are non entirely in this. and we will ne’er be entirely once more every bit long as we have him in our lives. The 4th measure is doing a searching and unafraid moral stock list of ourselves. We look inside ourselves to happen out what our ethical motives are and to calculate out what we believe in. We figure out what we stand for and larn what we think is right and incorrect in life. In this measure you must go viciously honorable with yourself cognizing that there’s nil we can make to alter the yesteryear. This does non intend you are a bad individual but that you have made some bad determinations in our lives. that we as human existences are non perfect.
The 5th measure is when we have admitted to God. ourselves. and another human being the exact natures of our wrongs we have done during our dependence. Completing this measure gets the monkey off your back pursay. More than most people the addict lead a dual life. This means we are merely demoing what we want people to see. Not being honest and demoing our true colourss. We still continued to lie and expected to be able to remain clean. Through this measure we learned that this is non possible in order to remain clean and live a honorable life through recovery. Those of us that belong to spiritual sanctuaries can confide in the proper individual of that religion.
Others that are non spiritual may happen person they can confide in such as a physician or healer. Person that we can swear to maintain what has been said in assurance. We can non unwrap anything to our household because we are non allowed to state things to them that will do them unhappy. We can non salvage our ain teguments by doing person else unhappy. By making so our frights come closer and we begin to recognize that our life is opening up and demoing what our life was truly approximately. This is the chilling thing we will make. And the hardest measure to finish out of all 12 of them. The 6th measure is when we ask God to take these defects of character.
Which in bend means we surrender our whole ego to God? When we are ready. we say to him something like this: My Creator. I am now willing that you should hold all of me. good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every individual defect of character which stands in the manner of my utility to you and my chaps. Allow me strength. as I go out from here. to make your command. Amen” The 7th measure we become willing to inquire God to assist us to take all of our defects. This is non a long measure and like I said antecedently it’s non one of the hardest stairss to make during recovery.
This we call the 12 Step Program. ” The first measure to recovery is we admit we’re powerless over our dependence and our lives have become unwieldy.
