Road(s) to
Recovery
Recovery
from addiction does not happen automatically when one quits
drinking alcohol and using drugs. Alcoholics and addicts recover
from addiction by getting honest and taking action.
| Everyone
is different, but in a general way, the steps that other
people have taken to move through abstinence and into
recovery include the following: |
 |
First, they acknowledged
the problem. |
|
Then they sought and
accepted help and support from reliable resources outside
of their own egos and will-power. |
|
With that help, they did
whatever it took to become abstinent, that is, to stop
using alcohol and drugs. |
|
Through the guidance of
others, they discovered proven, workable plans to lead
them toward recovery. |
|
They integrated the
details of those plans into their daily lives and kept the
process alive through consistent attention and effort. |
|
They continued to find and
utilize resources that deepened their recovery experience
by encouraging physical, mental, and spiritual growth and
change. |
|
They became resources for
others who needed help. |
| |
| Reliable
resources and simple, time-tested recovery plans stand
ready to guide alcoholics, addicts, and codependents out
of addiction and into recovery. Consider
the following: |
