A lot of people have come to me saying, “I stopped doing ONA because I felt so guilty for relapsing or indulging the chemicals and so they said “What the heck, why try again?”
Just remember, that guilty voice is just part of the addiction talking. We ALL relapse at times.
Thinking is sticky business. If we didn’t ever relapse we’d all be Ghandi or Christ or Buddha and even those folks said it isn’t easy to get enlightened.
I truly am starting to feel that relapsing is part of recovering!!! Because we become more and more the WITNESS to our relapses, watching ourselves go through the indulging and that witness is our Soul who is always at peace.
The more we Identify ourselves with that AWARENESS (remember 70% of recovery is awareness of indulgence), then the more at peace we are.
Don’t be a slave to your scary thought trains any more!
Recommit.
Join us in class tonight or take the ONA program.
Remember, you paint your world with the thoughts you think. The bio-chemicals in your body caused by your habitual thoughts dictate your experience of the entire world around you.
