Sober Tips

Hitting rock bottom.

Many people talk about having to reach rock bottom before coming into a spiritual program of recovery.

But how do we know we have reached rock bottom?

The answer is simply when we decide to stop digging.

It is not necessary that we lose everything. It is not necessary to lose our job, lose our families, or lose our home.

We do not even need to decide whether or not we have a problem.

All that is needed is a desire to stop drinking (or drugging).

We often come to the realization that we have a problem once we are able to identify with others and hear their problems.

It is at this point that we look further into a spiritual journey of recovery. Though our experiences are different, the feelings of isolation and the need to get out of the now are the same.

This kind of brought back memories of where I was, how bad things got for me, and how much I didn't want to do this anymore, and how powerless I am over a substance that ruined my life for a long time.
But what I've learned that made more sense to me afterwards, which I had also displayed going into recovery is that this program is not for those who need it, this program is for those who want it!

I know when I realize I hit rock bottom is when I admit it finally admit it that I have a problem with drugs when I admit that admit it that that's when I realize that I have a higher power or that had better plans for my life then the plan that I was setting for myself I lost everything from material things to family Lee and almost my life But once I admitted that I had a problem with drugs my life began to get a little bit better it's bit better one day at a time today I can honestly say I have no desire for no type of mood altering chemicals in my body I am so grateful today that I can think better I look better I eat better I live better and I thank God for that spiritual awakening I thank God for my NA/AA family

To me I had to lose everything before I got my head on straight. I’m still struggling but, little by little my life is getting better. My hats off to the People that didn’t have to lose everything and got sober.
