Every successful person has a painful story, so never give up. A school bell that sounds like a disturbance at 8:am also sounds interesting at 1:pm... it is just a matter of time, so Don't envy anyone. Not everyone walking fast has an appointment. Some have running stomachs!... If a rose smells better than tomatoes, It doesn't mean the rose can make a better stew. Don't try to compare yourself to others. You also have your strength, look for it and build on it. All animals that exist, were in Noah's ark. A snail is one of those animals. If God could wait long enough for snails to enter Noah's ark; His door of grace won't close till you reach your expected position in life. Never look down on yourself, keep looking up. Remember that Broken crayons still color. Keep on pushing, you never can tell how close You are to Your Goal.

Have a Blessed December and a greater breakthrough in 2024

Obtaining freedom from addiction to substances can be a long and difficult journey. The bible can provide tremendous comfort during recovery strengthening your resolve and helping you stay the course in a sober life. It contains many behavioral and character shaping encounters and real life stories of many who found hope in Finding success in recovery allows you to experience life in more fulfilling, healthier, and substantially more rewarding ways. Once treatment is complete, there will still be temptations to relapse. Our goal is to ensure you leave with the skills, resources, and faith required to find success in recovery even when you meet challenges and temptation strikes.
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.
When you find yourself returning to the familiarity of old friends who still use substances or places where you know the temptation will be great, this quote should be a reminder to help steer you back on track and avoid these triggering situations. In many traditional self help groups out there, they say to avoid people, places and things. Who is your company, where and doing what? An old saying goes; “show me your best 5 friends and I will tell you what kind of a person you are”.

Broken relationships between parents and their grown children are sadly, very common. Whether motives are misunderstood, actions are taken out of context or serious emotional injury was inflicted, it’s a painful situation for everyone involved. While you may not be entirely to blame for the conflict, initiating reconciliation may be up to you. Here are some points to keep in mind as you seek to reconnect.
Remember you are dealing with an adult. While you may feel that just yesterday they were children, they are mature adults and should be treated with the respect they deserve. Anything less will be undermining any efforts you make.
Acknowledge your contribution. There are two sides to every story. What may have seemed loving to you may have been hurtful to your child. Try to put yourself in their place and understand how it felt to them. Admit your own mistakes and apologize for your part of the conflict.
Approach the situation with love. It is difficult to face the fact that you have been wrong. This can leave you angry and with wounded pride. Deal with these emotions on your own prior to confronting your child. By acting out of love instead of anger, you will stand a better chance of having honest communication.
Be fair. A common piece of advice in marriage is “Do you want to be right or be married?”. This applies with your children as well. Would you rather be right or have a relationship? This doesn’t mean you accept all blame and overlook their wrongdoings. There is a time and a place for telling your child where they have hurt you. But criticizing everything you see wrong with them and the relationship is only going to hurt the them further and drive them farther away. Be fair in your assessment of them and only point out the issues currently at hand. Seek to repair the relationship and not fix your child.
Get support. By reaching out to a friend or therapist, you can gain a neutral perspective. This will help you be more objective and thus able to think more clearly and be more empathetic to your child. This ability will go a long way in connecting with your son or daughter.
If your child initially rejects your effort, don’t write them off. Let them know that you love them and are there for them when they’re ready. This is just as painful for them as it is for you and chances are, they will want to reconcile as well. Navigating relationships with adult children can be tricky and letting go of the relationship patterns that worked when they were children is hard but the reward of being friends with your now adult children is more than worth it.

If you are in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction, you probably already know what people, places, things and experiences that trigger your cravings to drink or use drug. While the COVID-19 outbreak presents a range of new challenges, personal awareness is half the battle. Take time today to be proactive, explore your areas of vulnerability and develop a plan you can stick to.
Relapse is not inevitable. If it has already happened, it’s not too late to reset. If you are in
recovery from drug or alcohol addiction, you probably already know what people, places,
things and experiences trigger your cravings to drink or use. While the COVID-19 outbreak
presents a range of new challenges, personal awareness is half the battle. Take time today to
be proactive, explore your areas of vulnerability and develop a plan you can stick to.
STAY SOBER. RELAPSE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE!
• If you have a sponsor, call or video chat with him or her today and express your need for
extra support and check-ins during this time.
• Participate in online recovery meetings during times you would normally attend in-person
meetings. Online meetings provide critical support and accountability from the safety of
your home. Check the online meetings hosted by Celebrate Recovery, (CR) Alcoholics Anonymous (AA),
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or Smart Recovery.
• Identify stress-relieving activities you can do on or off shift that help you disconnect from
anxious or negative thoughts. These may include physical activity, a guided meditation app
or watching funny videos on your phone.
• Ask your mental health provider for virtual sessions. If the office or clinic is closed, now is the time to clarify if your provider can transition to Zoom or Tele health sessions for ongoing support.
• Plan well for needed medications. If you take medication for a mental health or substance use disorder, make sure you have enough to last until your next visit. Call your doctor now to determine how the office will handle refills if they are closed.
• Establish solo breaks from family. If you find being home all day with family stressful, find a way to take break while maintaining social distance. A 30-minute walk outside or closing the door with headphones on can go a long way.
• Communicate needs to your partner. These are unprecedented times. Do not expect your spouse or partner to know exactly what you need to stay sober right now. Clearly
communicate needs, wishes and expectations.
• Don’t forget the basics. Whether you have been sober one month or one year, the age-old recovery acronym, H.A.L.T., should stay front and center at this time. Anticipate times of the day or week that you are likely to become Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired during this time. Have a plan to cope.
• Be aware of rationalizations to drink or use. During these unprecedented times, you may notice attempts to mentally justify or normalize just one drink or dose. For every justification you can think of to drink or use, write down a reason why you are committed to recovery. Keep
this list accessible in your pocket, at your bedside or on your phone. Review it regularly and read it your spouse, partner or sponsor for accountability or some one who supports your recovery. Remember, If you hang out with Losers, you will become one of them. There are thousands who are staying clean and sober. Do what they do!
