Not looking for any ‘that a boys’ or props, but that doesn’t mean they are not welcomed. I more less wanted to share this incase someone is struggling with a certain addiction. I was the one that wasn’t supposed to make it, but I did, and you can too!
I will take this opportunity to share one important thing that has helped me dearly. That is, SOBRIETY IS NOT BLACK AND WHITE!! There is no ‘one path’ to that final destination. Our culture has been misinformed by the 12 step model of recovery. This information has most likely done more harm than good to many looking to get out of thier struggles with alcohol and drugs. All that is needed to find the solution is a willingness to want to be done for good, the courage to face your fears and the ability to dust yourself off as quickly as possible when you do fall.
Alcoholics and addicts have one thing in common. We all struggle with shame and remorse, and have a tendency to let it consume us. When you learn to get over that, and adopt the philosophy that we are all human and make mistakes, you will succeed.
With that being said, I still attend 12 step meetings in hopes that I can help someone else out. But, most of the times I’m that oddball in the group, sort of like I am here, on PM.
