It's the same as if I was driving near the California mountains, the further I drive away from the huge scene of mountains, the smaller the mountains will appear. And as I keep driving away from them, finally I can no longer see the mountains at all. It's the same with the addiction that I am overcoming. The more time that passes, the less vulnerable to my demons I become. The things that once triggered my mind to use drugs and alcohol are having less and less impact on me as I continue my new thinking of how and why to stay in recovery. Before long I will be having many anniversaries in my new life. First it will be 30 days clean, then comes 60, 90, 180, and without realizing I will find that I have gone a year clean and I will continue to feel like a new and better person. As I stay on this course, those that love me will be so proud, as I am proud of myself too.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />("reflections in recovery" are in conjunction with 'A NEW JOURNEY' RECOVERY FROM ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION, by john carcerano</div><div>WEBSITE <a href="http://www.newjourneyrecovery.com/">http://www.newjourneyrecovery.com/</a> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8575246055497425940-9185041082206940167?l=thecureoftime.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Treating Addictionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06310687984959145718noreply@blogger.com1
