Are You Giving 100% In Your Sobriety?

When we are newly sober, get into a 12 step recovery program, and go through the addiction recovery process, most of us are enthusiastic and excited about our life. We have a willingness to go to any lengths to stay sober and continue our newfound resolve. Most of us come out of our battle with chemical dependency declaring that we will never drink again no matter what! This is great however, the longer we stay sober it is common that while we maintain the same level of willingness most of us lose that level of desperation that we once had.

 

Questions To Ask Yourself In Sobriety

It is imperative that we check in with ourselves and ask if we are giving 100%, and if not, then how much are we putting into our sobriety? Are we skipping meetings when we know we need one? Are we not calling our sponsor and checking in?  How can we go back to giving 100%? What needs to change so that we have the best chance at staying sober? 

Are we being dishonest and keeping secrets? If so how can we change these things in order to improve our sobriety?

If we really desire to keep our sobriety and our willing to go to any lengths to do that then we must stay diligent and do whatever it takes to stay on the path. If we find that we are struggling, there are many ways we can get out of our funk -  from talking to people, to praying and meditating - asking for clarity on how to handle situations and of course seeking God’s will for us.
