ODAT Sunday

HEY HEY HEY Capt! A fine good mornin to ya! HUGS to you & Greenie as well...!

First, I want to post this article that Overit posted (in case you missed it):

Addiction Recovery Skills and Coping Strategies

MANY great things to read in it, but this sentence has made me want to be ABSTINATE (even tho I've known I "should" - didn't want to say it out loud, so to speak!):

"Remember, every relapse, no matter how small undoes the gains your brain has made during recovery. Without abstinence everything will fall apart. With abstinence everything is possible."

I've been very Obstinate about being Abstinate!! (OK - that just came out... pls forgive! lol) Makes me wonder when I've had a truly healthy brain - probably I'd have to go back to age 15. As sad as that is, it's made me Curious to see what my healthy brain is like!! (And, for me, curiosity is a very strong motivation...)

Anyway, that article/site should be bookmarked by all... It's both inspirational AND gives the hard, cold Truth (about all addictions).

Day 6 - unbelievable. But I know how this "inspiration" stuff comes & goes... I pray it has burned a hole in my brain (that part already ruined by AL - not the remaining good part!! )

Good Sunday to all you wonderful ODATers! This place & you all have truly been a Godsend to me. I know for a Fact that I wouldn't have gotten Close to where I am without you. It's quite possible that you've Saved my Life! Not to be dramatic, but... had I continued the way I was...

And YES - ONE DAY AT A TIME. Thank you all & BIG :l
