This section contains
Addiction and Recovery
Stories and
other items sent to me by other recovering addicts.
Personal
Recovery Stories are an excellent
aid to recovery and Personal
Recovery Stories help
Recovering Addicts and
Alcoholics to realize their
Strengths, Hopes and Fears.
Personal
Recovery Stories are also a great tool to further your recovery.
When we start writing our stories and personal experiences out on
paper we are able to to analyze our thoughts and actions more
carefully and because of this we can begin to see our character
defects as well as our positive strengths and make changes. Simply
put Personal Recovery Stories are a great method of improving our
recovery by self enlightenment.
Positive stories on how recovery has changed your
life and what recovery means to you are also a great way to help the
newcomers learn what the winners are doing and the changes they are
making in their personal lives to conquer their addiction
problems and win the battle in recovery. Remember we learn by
example, hence the saying "Fake it, Till you Make it."
Recovery can be a life long struggle and the the
road to Recovery is a constantly changing path
that is not always easy and sometimes
relapse is a definite reality in
Recovery. Stories about
Relapse can be a very valuable tool and may help others avoid some
of the pitfalls that many of us had to go through. Remember, "It is not where we have been that
counts, but where we are going." We need to hear
all of these stories both good and bad as this is how we all learn
about this wonderful journey called recovery.
I NEED MORE
STORIES!
I really would like to see more stories here at the NA AA Recovery
Zone dealing with these issues and at the time of this writing I
have only 22 stories published after being online for about three
years! This website gets between 40,000 to 80,000 hits a day and it
amazes me that this is all of the response that I have gotten so
far. Furthermore we all need to remember this, "We Can't Keep
What we Have Without Giving it Away!" What are we all waiting for?
Have you
ever been to an NA Meeting or NA Meeting and while you are all
trying to share certain people always seem to have to make an open
talk at your table? Quite frankly I would like have some of these
long winded individuals sending in all of their personal theories
and explanations on how recovery works and how they apply recovery
into their personal lives. It is said that there is a place and a
time for everything, This is the place, and any time is a good time
at the NA AA Recovery Zone to send in your stories. If you are
sponsoring a newcomer or an old timer give them an assignment and
have them start writing... Bottom line, writing is good for
recovery.
All stories
sent in will be published in an anonymous fashion, simply sign the story
with whatever you want, first name, last initial, or simply anonymous. I
do not keep any records at the NA AA Recovery Zone and the sole purpose
of the whole site is the concept of sharing what works.
If you have been thinking of writing
an Addiction or Alcoholism Story, and you would like to share your Personal
Recovery Story fire up
that word processor and start processing!
Thanks
Nick M.
