Ever had a great idea and let it go because you were distracted?
Then someone patented it and made a killing? Of course, you kicked yourself thinking “This is not the first time. I either gotta do something next time or stop thinking and trying to be creative.”
Yup! Me too!
There are way too many people who begin treatment programs for one reason or another and truly make a huge effort to absorb what they are being taught. They may even stay for a few weeks or months and then get distracted.
What does an alcoholic do when distracted from recovery? Right! He drinks!
The most natural thing for a fish to do is swim. The most natural thing for a bird to do when startled is to fly away. The most natural thing for a deer to do when alarmed is to run away.
And, the most natural thing for an addict to do when disturbed is to use.
“Just one, to take the edge off.” When a train is speeding down the track and you are stuck on the track, the caboose does not harm you. It is the engine that will get you every time.
It is not the 10th drink or pill that gets you. It is the first!
These programs have helped millions and millions of people worldwide over the years and can help you too. But, you did not get into the position of seeking guidance and help over one night of indulgence.

So why do you believe that dipping your toe into the water to test it will let your body know it needs to do more?
You were born a Spiritual Being “In the image” of God which means that you share in the miracles that The Higher Power performs. So, don’t think anything but the best is in store for you if you allow it to happen.
So, simply say “God, help me,” then give Him the time to get through your doubts.
When you are ready, allow whatever it takes to accomplish, and don’t quit too soon. Quickly, the waiting will be over and the rewards are serenity and peace of mind. You can’t but that!
Thank you, God!
