12 Steps For Recovery Recovery Companion Workbook A Guide To Overcoming Addiction Using The Spiritual And Moral Principles Of Any 12 Steps Program PDF Download

Affected by addictions? Who does not know someone suffering from addiction or someone suffering from the effects of a loved one's addiction or someone who is well into a life restored from the destruction of addiction only to find other avenues of escape? Living in an age that encourages the forgetting of our tender innocence, born from the perfect design and purpose of our Creator, forgetting who we were created to be. Attempting to silence the voice of one's spirit to avoid the discovery of one's life purpose, then it is easy to fall prey to the seduction of the world of addiction. Many times we leave behind who we think we are, who we think we are supposed to be to better fit the ideas of those we love, many times painfully forgetting our unique gifts and talents for fear of rejection or failure. Some of us have tried to mold not only our lives, but others too as we drag them along, trying to fit into ideas that are not true to our purpose, leading a life of false identity instead of true destiny. Remembering Who We Are: a workbook based on an adaptation of AA's 12 steps is an experience, a process toward creating an environment for healing and restoration. Carol has brought together, not only her experience using the tools outlined, but suggestions from countless others who have used this guide to bring to you the best tools for 'working' the 12 steps of recovery. She has guided countless others desiring a life restored, a soul recovered, through this process and she has included in the last chapter a simple outline and guide for those desiring to use this process within a small group setting. This workbook is a manageable and practical guide for persons affected by addictions and this too is an entry into a more disciplined spiritual life, a step by step journey to uncover forgotten dreams and purpose for living. Offering loving guidance, creative tools and gentle honesty Carol guides you on a personal and intimate journey, applying the tools outlined, toward healing, discovery and restoration of a soul lost or forgotten. You will find the loving power and presence of God, as you understand God, a lasting and intimate relationship you can rely upon. Using mind mapping, visioning, letter writing for amends and other powerful tools form a solid foundation for you to be restored to the harmonious living of your human and divine nature. Being armed with no more than simple courage, willingness and honesty, those who dare to seek will uncover a life filled with purpose and wonder. Climbing out of the abyss and destruction brought on by dysfunctional behavior, false beliefs and addiction is difficult at best. Women and men as well as young teens find themselves inside the rooms of various 12 step programs, either as family members, a loved one or as the identified addict. Attempts to recover one's soul, while at the same time fighting emotions of anger, resentment and despair mixed with self-righteousness, it is easy to see why it appears as though accepting a life of mere abstinence is the easier, softer way. To accept a life of uselessness, self-pity, misery; a life lived absent of principles found in the book, Alcoholics Anonymous, the Bible and other sacred text, a life unmanageable is unnecessary. Many are willing to do whatever it takes, to go to any lengths to recover from the effects of addiction and then find themselves at a loss for necessary, guided action. Some folks in a 12 step recovery program find that after many years, a deep level of unmanageability and new or old addictions arise creating havoc and destruction, standing between you and the wholeness you long for as well as spiritual growth, something necessary for long term recovery.
