"If nothing changes, nothing changes except your clean date." -
Gerald Z.
IT WORKS IF YOU WORK ITThe same person will use again. Nothing changes if nothing
changes. These little sayings haunted me in early recovery. One
thing for sure helped me. When I went to a meeting, I felt
better. Most of my early recovery was motivated by the amount of
pain I was feeling. I needed to be spoon fed. I was a white
knuckler for a while. Do not use no matter what was my program. I
wanted to get better. Only I was hoping that it would happen by
osmosis. It was the older members constantly asking me questions
that jump started my recovery. Do you have a home group? Have you
found a sponsor yet? Did you pray today? So to stop the all the
questions, I got a home group. Then I got the sponsor. My sponsor
gave me daily recovery lessons. It was another miracle. Against
my wishes, I got a program of recovery started. Pray, write, and
share with my sponsor who helped me make healthy decisions. It
works if I work it.
