+ 3 Over time
We realize we do not recover physically, mentally or spiritually over night.
When we first take that first step in recovery we think for some reason that things should get better over night but that not the case. We expect our physical problems to correct themselves our thinking to become rational and have a righteous walk with our higher power. We forget we spend years abusing our bodies and numbing the pain and dulling our awareness to a higher power.we can not undo the damage of our past lifes in a day. What we can do is the next step go to the next meeting help the newcomer . We will slowly start to notice that our bodys mind and spirit do recover little by little and over time not over night.. Recovery is a process it takes time let's not forget that men and women. It is not a race.. we should always be proud and thankful of the process we made rather it be a small step or a big step..
Thanks for taking part in my recovery today.

You also have to be aware of the fact that although most people you have hurt in your life of addiction are more than willing to forgive you and rebuild bridges, there are occasionally some that cannot forget or are willing to accept your apology. Sometimes the wounds have cut too deep - however given time they often will if they see you have genuinely given up what use to have the power over you and have become a much better person. Never let this distract you in your journey or get you down though - For we have today and today we are sober and happy and I cannot think of anything better than that
