We all know life is like a roller-coaster there will always be
highs and lows, while many times in the past we may have turned to drinking to
handle these emotions now that we have received help from 12
step treatment programs
and got sober we are able
to handle things differently. When we go to Above It All At
Lake Arrowhead, AA, or addiction rehabilitation we are given the tools to help us cope with
whatever comes our way. Whether it is a stressful day at the office or an
amazing day with our child in the sun the idea of being in touch with our
feelings may be a new concept to a lot of us.
While we are used to drowning out
the sounds in our head we can now turn to our higher power to find
solutions. There is always someone available to help whenever needed.
Starting over with a team of sober people to guide you is much better then throwing
in the towel for a drink. Attending a meeting is a great way to get out of
one’s head. Hearing someone
else talk about their struggle to get sober is a nice reminder of how far we
have come.
Fellow-shipping with fellow sober people is also another great way to
surround ourselves with people who have been through the same struggles we may
be facing. Regardless of the situation we now have the tools to cope with the
ride we are on. We are beyond blessed to have such an amazing support group and
it has all been made possible through the work we have done in order to achieve
long term sobriety.
