insights

I have been in treatment for 4 months , i have learnt through the programme that i have a disease , the disease of addiction and that with complete surrender of one self to what we here would call higher power is the only way out of the disease . I have transformed from a state of admission to acceptance over the past few months . Due to taking the programme really seriously i have seen for myself a change of my mind from an irratonal one to a calm , level headed one. I have learnt to take each day at a time and making myself stronger both emotionally and spiritually . The programme has thought me to control my emotions and facing situations with a strong head .

My Relapse

Comments from a recoverying addict on the way I relapsed because I had used half measures which availed me nothing. I traveled around the world not being in contact with my sponser or the program. Going wild out on Alcohol and Sex, my life became totally unmanageable, from being locked up in jail cell to almost making porn flicks. Spending vast amounts of money and spending sleepless nights and days on a crazed fest of trying to live a high life. Not being in contact with the program had brought me back to the gates of hell, nearly loosing my life. Today I am grateful to be back in treatment and have another chance... as spoken by a recovering addict in treatmenent for the 3rd time.
