Thinking Your Way Out of A Relapse

Posted on November 22, 2021

It doesn't matter what your rock bottom was; some are high, and some are low. That's the nature of bottoms; they are not predictable. But whatever your bottom was, there's someone out there who has a similar story and just needs to know how to get up and succeed. That's where your story comes in. If you don't write it, that person doesn't know that someone else survived and thrived. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/how-your-recovery-message-makes-a-difference/></div>

How Your Recovery Message Makes a Difference

I Gave Up Drugs, Why Can't I Function? I got into recovery and wasn't functioning well, because I did not realize how much damage I had done to my body and brain.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-beyond-up-down-functioning-and-existing/></div>

Ben Rose looks at life and remembers that life wasn't always one extreme or the other, even in his addiction.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/life-and-recovery-they-are-balancing-acts/></div>

LIFE AND RECOVERY: THEY ARE BALANCING ACTS

Facebook has many groups for alcoholics and addicts that I think function in many ways, like an old-fashioned 12-Step call. Someone posts that they've relapsed and don't know what to do. Almost immediately, an admin will ask for suggestions, or someone will post meeting times. It's a great way to help get someone back home. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/help-them-find-their-way-back-home/></div>

Desperate? That's Motivation for Change marilynldavis marilyn l davis from addict 2 advocate

Being desperate can make us do crazy things, but it can also motivate us to change.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/desperate-thats-motivation-for-change/></div>

Desperate? That’s Motivation for Change

It was at that point that I knew that change was a lifelong job; that it would create fears, uncover aspects of myself that generated and caused embarrassment, but that I would only benefit from my recovery if I went beyond not using to healing the underlying motives that produced negative outcomes in my life. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/changing-you-a-full-time-job/></div>

Those feelings and thoughts about our life were held down rather like a jack-in-the-box - hidden away only by the mechanism of the box, or in the case of our addiction, by our use. Take away the drugs and alcohol, and the feelings come flooding back, seemingly without rhyme or reason. However, emotional memory stores all those old feelings. They are still there.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/when-the-numbed-feelings-pop-back-up/></div>

Addiction Labels: Hurtful, Embarrassing, or a Beginning? marilyn l davis from addict 2 advocate

Posted on January 3, 2019August 25, 2021

Labels can hurt, embarrass, or help you start your recovery. For me, that began with saying, "I am a recovering addict." <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/addiction-labels-hurtful-embarrassing-or-a-beginning/></div>

Addiction Labels: Hurtful, Embarrassing, or a Beginning?

Posted on December 8, 2018June 30, 2021

I'll take a saying from the rooms, "progress, not perfection." Progress towards any task, goal, or work is something that we need to acknowledge. We've done it. Are you giving yourself credit when it's done? I certainly hope so.<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/recovery-start-your-day-with-a-done-list/></div>
