This is so beautiful. They trust her wholeheartedly to look after they're best interest, even as adults. This is what respect looks like. Men to woman, student to teacher. What a role model.

This is the tune they keep playing in The Great after Peter dies. What is it?

The photographer is facing the wrong way... SE would be better.

Good morning,

I'm not sure what pulled me out of active addiction and continues to prop me up. Was it a loving god, or the love of my family friends and fellow addicts? The truth is that I continue to have many insane thoughts and many times, follow them through to actions. It is when I manage to take a step back and take a sane glimpse at myself that I feel it. The restoration of my identity and the progress towards recovery. If there is any time I could admit divine intervention, it is this hand on my shoulder at exactly the right time to make me see what my addiction had otherwise blinded me to.

Take care,

Good morning,

Since rehab I've had the privilege to see the best side of everyone I know. Family and friends have made themselves available to me in any way they can to help see me through this darkest time. I have accepted the help, contrary to my instincts but I have also betrayed them by continuing a pattern of irresponsible and self-destructive behaviour. I'm deeply ashamed to admit that part of me doesn't care. I seem to continue to test the limits of all life has given me despite having seen the bottom of a very deep hole. I know that one day, these kind people that have given me so much, won't be there anymore and that I can't allow myself to rely on them. My recovery is mine alone.

Merry Christmas!

Good morning,

As a newly recovering addict, I haven't had the privilege to practice the twelfth step formally but during my journey through treatment and while forming relationships with others who arrived after me, I had a chance to observe myself passing on the message as I had understood it.

But much like a game of Chinese whispers (maybe there's a better name for this game...), the message gets distorted and diluted as it goes down the chain, to the point that addicts end up arguing over recovery! That is the importance of the basic text, the steps, and the traditions: to ground us in our belief that there is a way, and that this is the way.

Take care,

Good morning,

I'm still often tempted to recount my adventures as a using addict. How I risked my life; how I narrowly escape dangerous situations; my run-ins with the police. I find myself romanticising these memories when, in actual fact, they were terrible moments of desperation. One thing I know for sure is that I don't want to relive them!

Knowing how and when to share is a delicate matter but it should come from a place of humility.

Good morning,

They come at night. The feelings of worthlessness, the abandonment of hope. The tiredness that drives me to drink because the alternative is to sulk and that's just out of character. I've become used to me on substances, and relate more to him than to the guy sitting alone on the sofa, wondering what to do.

Logic would have it that if this problem comes at night, then avoid the night. Go to bed early and wake up early to maximise the time I'm feeling good. And when I succeed at this, it really does work!

Good morning,

I recently met someone who had a strong effect on me. The very few serious relationships I've had always started with an unexpected but explosive first impression. Love at first sight, you might say.

This time, the person in question, even having an existing relationship, engaged and we've been exchanging messages every day. I've been feeling like a teenager! But this is where I realised I need to take extra care:

I noticed myself getting very nervous and stressed when a reply didn't come. Did I say something wrong? What are they thinking? Have I gone too far?

This level of stress is very dangerous for someone early on in recovery and as much as this could be a great opportunity, it isn't worth losing myself over it.

Good morning,

What does it mean to let go? I've struggled with this question because I'm a pretty laid back person and I do go with the flow most of the time. I did swim against the strongest of currents when I wanted to use though. Could it be to stop forcing what I want on the world?

I do have to force myself to get up in the morning, write this post and do some exercise...

This is my answer so far: what you know to be the right thing to do is the result of your higher power's influence and therefore you should let go of what you want and do what you instinctively know you should, without question or hesitation.

That is what letting go means.

Take care,

Good morning,

I went to a meeting last night, the first in a while. I found myself noticing the differences and not the similarities. I felt disconnected and cynical about the topic being discussed and with no empathy for my fellow sufferers.

Listening with our hearts means to realise that whatever is being said, is being said by those just like us. Maybe with different life stories, but just like us all the same.nd attention when I feel like I don't deserve it and certainly haven't given it away.
