| Blog Subject: | Im a recovery person |
New Identity; Very simple. . Im a recovery person; . I live in a little recovery apartment; I have my plastic model kits I have my mountain bike I attend recovery meetings I have a recovery sponsor… I have a higher power Im on permanent mental disability… Ive had problems in the past with substance abuse; Enough; not to be a visitor to the meetings but a member; But just barely; but still enough! Dual diagnosed with addictions and mental problems. Allot more on the “ Mental problems” side of things; but I still abused substances for relief… . I go from here… forward; and learn a new design for living. I use allot of the words and thoughts and phrasing and ideas and wisdom from other members; I use the books associated with the recovery fellowships I attend to learn how to live again in a practical day to day way within this simple life style. It is what it is… . . Note; its from this platform of recovery that I excel back into regular life. Im not trying to “ Take a little time off from regular life”; to find myself in the recovery process; recover for 2 weeks and claim Im back to middle class life or job or something; That does not work for me. And its not a true statement. The trust is; Im in the recovery life identity for life; as life; this is my foundation; and it is where I start from. I don’t get to claim Im a big business man or lawyer or vise president of the Bank… and Im just taking a break for a few months. . When I talk to people; I tell them the truth; I live a very simple recovery life style. And I have mental problems that do not go away. It makes life hard to be in reality on a daily basis. . I have problems with people stalking me in the 12 meetings that I have to take care of. I don’t want to; but I have to face these problems. Im praying about it right now! . I have support for my general recovery. I haven't been to therapists in a long time; However; from the trails of everyday life and dealing with stalkers; Ive been suicidal for the last several months; and I havent known how to fix any of this yet! |
