Topic of the Week - words beginning with `A` - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

A is for Amends. Amends doesn`t mean saying, I`m sorry, it is about making changes in your life so you don`t continue doing the same thing over and over again. Sorry can wear thin and not mean anything, especially when you tell the same person over and over again, this time will be different.

A is for Awareness. If you aren't aware of what is, how can you take the steps to change. We need a new awareness of our body, mind, and spirit as our disease affects all areas of our life.

I had a false sense of responsibility for most of my life. I had to be aware of what was mine and what wasn't. I believed I was responsible for my brother's death, when I was only 3. I didn't heal and become aware until I was 53 and in the program. Didn't know I carried the guilt, until I became aware that I still carried it.

A is for Attitude. We need an attitude adjustment in order to recover. Each day we need to do a self appraisal and check our attitude. It is generally something that is best left at the door. If it is rooted from something in the past, it is old news and needed to be adjusted in today.

A is for Attraction. The Traditions says, "Attraction, not promotion." Do you walk your life so that people look at you and say, "I want what they have!"

I don't speak for AA, I can only share my experience, strength, and hope. My recovery has been on many levels, and have gone to outside sources, one of them was back to church to make amends to my God.

A is for Arrange. Arrange time for your recovery, going to meetings, talking to your sponsor, and Step work. Arrange your time so you have some balance in your life, no more extreme highs and lows. Arrange to spend some time alone with your God. Arrange your life so you can take time to hear God's will and plan your life accordingly.

A is for Amen. When you hear something you can identify with; or see something that inspires you; and/or feel something that touches your soul; say Amen and give thanks. Praise and give thanks to your God for those moments that you shows you He is at work in your Life. Amen.
