Addiction Recovery

Addiction Recovery cases vary according to the type and source of the addiction. What ever the addiction the fastest way to a solid recovery is by using a slow and steady approach.

An addiction is described as a three fold disease.

1. Chemical   
2. Emotional
3. Spiritual

The recipe for great recovery from addiction requires a balance of physical and emotional abstinence, a pinch of spiritual growth and a 1/2 a cup of common sense:

• Keep in contact with people who have good recovery. Even the Pope has advisors so why wouldn't you.

•  Take advantage of all proper recovery assistance that is available to you.

•  Attend and get involved with 12 step meetings on a regular basis, if you don't like the group you are at, try another. For fledgling 12 step members an open AA meeting is always helpful. .

•  Watch for other addictions. If your recovery isn't going too well, the chances are good that you may have additional addictions in action. It is also very common for recovering addicts to simply switch addictions. Find positive addictions.

 Look after the little things, the big things always will look after themselves!
 

Emotional Maintenance

"Efrag" your brain and clear out the old emotional files (e-files):

• Write a wish list and keep it in a safe place.
• Write an accomplished this year list and keep it in a safe place.
• Use a time management tool of some sort and clear out the accomplishments at the end of each day, more often on especially cluttered days. Credit yourself for all accomplishments
• Write a jot list of your current feelings at any given moment, make sure you are not feeling someone else's feelings or putting your feelings in politically correct categories. Throw this list away as you get fresh new feelings every day, no need to hang on to the old damaged ones.
• Write a list of recovery goals that you would like to achieve and keep it in a safe place.
• Archive your past memories and associated feelings by collecting all the photos you have or can acquire about your life to date, put them in order in a photo album. This can free up a great amount of space in your personal operating memory and allow you to go forward in your recovery, quicker.
