Some people like to believe that because they have abstained from their addiction for a while, they are cured and no longer need to continue working on their recovery. However, here's proof that recovery is really a process. When it comes to recovery, you don't arrive. To arrive, means to get there unpack and relax if you're on vacation, or to get to your designated area at you job.
Three Proofs That Recovery is a Process:
1. You admitted that you were powerless over your addiction, that your life had become unmanageable: To continue in your recovery and have a manageable life, you must admit your powerlessness. If you were to deny this first step you would be lying to yourself. Honesty is a process.
2. You came to believe that a Power greater than yourself could restore you to sanity: Restoration of your sanity is a gift that doesn't come overnight. It's the efforts and the belief that a Power greater than yourself can work with you to help restore you. Restoration is a process
3. You made a decision to turn your will over to the care of God as you understood Him: When you made this decision, you took action with the awareness that you would get better results in your life by carrying out your God's will instead of your own. Turning your will over is a process.
With your daily practice of these three Steps, you are proving that recovery is a process. Remember that when it comes to recovery, you never arrive. Apply these principles and you will have your own proof that recovery is a process, it is not a destination.
