It should be well behind you, but it’s not. You feel you should have stopped by now. And because of that, you feel extremely discouraged. You’ve tried everything you can try, but you don’t know what to do. You’re losing hope that you’ll ever kick your addiction. You want to find a way to finally stop.
Or…
You’ve been committed and you’ve grown in many ways. But now your recovery feels stagnant. The excitement of progress has worn off and you don’t know your next steps. You long to feel the fresh air of genuine progress. You long to continue your healing but you don’t know how.
Or…
The same things keep getting under your skin. The same triggers, the same stresses, and the same anxieties keep you acting out, either emotionally or addictively. Perhaps you’ve improved some, but after years of recovery, you wonder if you should have progressed further by now. You long for deeper emotional stability. You want more peace, calm, joy, especially under difficult circumstances.
Or…
It takes you days or even weeks to regain your emotional balance. The guilt, shame, self-blame, and self-criticism not only weigh heavy on you, but all those emotions conspire to make your abstinence goals even more difficult. If you could learn to handle relapse better, you’d not only bounce back more quickly, you’d be less likely to act out in the first place.
Or…
You constantly hear that spiritual connection is important for recovery. You’re open to developing such a connection and you’ve tried, but it’s just not working for you. You sometimes wonder if you’re just “making it up in your head.” Or you maybe you feel you’re too skeptical or intellectual. You want such a connection but it needs to feel authentic to who you are and how you think.
Or…
Leaders, counselors, or sponsors ask you to do things that don’t feel right to you. Maybe it’s a step you’re not ready for, maybe it’s a personal exercise you’re not comfortable with, or maybe you’re being asked to believe things you don’t find believable. You follow along because you don’t have good alternatives. What if you could find a path that felt right to you?
