Recovery is Different from Staying Sober........

 

 

Staying sober is a very important and absolutely necessary first step into recovery. However, in order to continue in recovery it takes a lot more work than that of just staying sober. Stay in contact with other people who are in recovery, but remember to stick with the winners. Many of us fall into the trap of latching onto other people who are early in recovery or the one's that don't yet feel that they have a problem. The problem with this thinking is that neither of the recovering alcoholics/addicts are in a good place and usually just find new drinking buddies instead of helping hands in recovery. Recovery is hard and is not for the faint of heart, but if you stick around and listen to other people who have been through what you are going through, then you will be able to continue to grow and learn how to cope with life on life's terms without turning to the old ways of living or lack of living. Stay strong and reach out. I can't, but "WE" can!
