Denial:
What you live with you learn.
What you learn you practice.
What you practice you become.
What you become has consequences!!!
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul!!!

DENIAL: This is the traditional favorite of chemically dependent people everywhere. The person
in denial refuses to admit the possibility that a problem exists, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Examples of Denial:

I can control my drinking and using and can stop at any time.
I know I can’t stop so why even try?
My family doesn’t know how much I am using or drinking. I hide it well.
Primary focus is on using then denying the behavior.
Blame persons, places and things as an excuse to drink and use.
Behavior is ritualized therefore under control.

Self Esteem:
Spiritual psychology is the soul growth we came here to do
We are advanced in mind and body but spirit needs to catch up too, so overlooked and unnoticed
Be your truth, call off the lie, God didn’t make junk and he didn’t start with you.
The creator of all doesn’t have favorites, no grandchildren you see; he loves all of you and me.
You didn’t create you, so when we will stop rejecting God’s best stuff?
The All in All resides in you, Call off the joke of pretending we’re alone and lost
Today I claim to the universe the game is off, I am my highest best good, just as my creator intends.

Twelve Steps to Recovery
Members of A.A. often say that there are two main problems — the drinking problem and the thinking problem. The drinking (or other drug use) has damaged the brain to the point where it is difficult for us to think normally. We have become preoccupied with self-defeating thoughts that will get us drunk or high unless we do something about them.

First stages of abstinence can be one of the most challenging and most difficult experiences of your life. That is the reason we only do it for twenty-four hours, or on some days, only a minute at a time. You can do anything for twenty-four hours that you may not be able to do for a lifetime. The obsession to use, the physical cravings and the emotional pain does end. If it did not millions of us would not be clean and sober today. If being clean and sober was not better than being in the bondage of our addiction, we would still be using or be dead. Consider the pay off for wanting to get clean and sober.

The Act of Surrender:

Our illness is more powerful than we are.
Admitting defeat is the first step into a beautiful world.
This step brings us into God’s world of care.
We get love. We give love. We stay sober and clean because daily we
Admit defeat

Spirituality:

The process of healing from the disease of chemical dependency includes healing physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In our disease, we lose sight of who we truly are. As we slide deeper and deeper into our addictions, we develop our beliefs, delusions, as well as faulty perceptions of ourselves and others. Life’s meaning and purpose escape us. We become unaware of our real reason for being

Spiritual recovery is a difficult concept for many to grasp because we’ve had so many preconceived notions about it. While the idea of spirituality seems inaccessible for many of us in early recovery, our recovery itself may dependent upon it. The principals of spirituality are so simple that most of us miss them.

Give yourself or someone you love or care about a non-threatening journal workshop that provides humor and a whimsical understanding of a serious human condition that needs to acknowledge that a silver lining can still exist. Laughter, faith, hope, truth and acceptance are key antidotes of a seemingly hopeless, helpless and powerful malady of addiction.
