“KING BABY”

Following is one of the many things i have learned in my


recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism and I’d like to share
this to all recovering addicts/ alcoholics and to all those who are still
suffering from it.
The first (30) years of my childhood nearly killed me, KING
BABY attitudes and behaviours were blocks to my recovery from
addiction. Many times I carried into my adult life childish “egos” and
immature attitudes. I won’t give up my childlike needs of CONTROL
or my desire that all my needs be met. Attitude of “I WANT WHAT I
WANT AND I WANT IT NOW” and motives of power, attention, and
instant pleasure had no place in my recovery from drug addiction/
alcoholism.
Recovery taught me ways to deal with my scared little child
and at the same time allowed me to mature that chid within me.
When acted like a baby, I thought I was the center of the world, and
believe that status fame, money, and power were the most
important things in my life.
Only when I admitted defeat or that i needed to put my childish
behaviour be me did I start to change form belie paving in BABY
POWER to believing in a HIGH POWER.
Everyday I still continue to put away babyish behaviours by
working on Self- discipline and Self-foemen a person start to look at
life in general, this way, his chances for recovery from drug
addiction or alcoholism gets better and yes, even easier.
DAY 2

A. Feelings Scale

B.Dog Food
FEELINGS SCALE
Objectives:

 To be able to compare the feelings felt while drinking/ using during early phase and
late phase of addiction
 To educate clients how addicts reach the point of “ Live to use and Use to live”.

Range of Feelings
Pre- Using Phase

SAD NORMAL
GLAD
Early Using Phase

SAD NORMAL GLAD EUPHORIA


 Using brings so much satisfaction, euphoria, sense of well- being exaggerated sense
of feeling super human- Able to accomplish extra ordinary things.

LATE OF STAGE OF USING

--------- ---
GLAD EUPHORIA
PAIN SAD NORMAL

 Using does not produce euphoria but only feelings of being normal and the
individual will require more episodes of using to attain the high experienced in the
early phase of using- This is where the individuals is “Living to use and using to
live”- in this phase the individual starts his/her day dwelling constantly in pain, tp
avoid and fix the feeling of pain, the individual has to use.
Dog Food

One evening father told me about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said: son, the battle is between two dogs, inside. One is not
helpful, it is anger; envy; jealousy; sorrow; regret; arrogance; self-
pity; guilt; resentment; inferiority; lies; false pride; superiority; and
ego.

The other is loving, it is joy; peace; love; hope; serenity; humility;


kindness; benevolence; empathy; generosity; truth; compassion and
faith.

I thought for a moment and asked which dog wins?


He replied, the one you feed.
DAY 3

A. Johari Window

B. Wearisome
Brother
4 ASPECT OF SELF (JOHARI WINDOWS)
OBJECTIVES:
 To gain Knowledge about the 4 aspect of self.
 To explore and explain the different tools that can be used i group dynamics
to help participating individuals improve and grow.
 To identify the different components of oneself that needs improvements by
letting others identify such areas. The Johari window is a technique used to
help people better understand their relationship with themselves and others,
which was created by the psychologist Joseph luft (1916-2014) and
Harrington Ingham(1916-1995) in 1995. It is used primarily in self- help
groups and corporate setting as a heuristic exercise. Luft and Ingham called
their Johari window model ‘ Johari after combining their name, Joe and
Harry.
SELF

OPEN SECRET
OTHERS

SUB
HIDDEN

OPEN

- Visible to self and others


- Containing material information the self is willing to share with others

SECRET

- Things the self knows about himself but don’t want others to know
- (Fear of criticism, shame,redicule, rejection and pressure)
- ( loss of self esteem and confidence if others will know)

HIDDEN

- Things that are clear or apparent to others but the self is not aware of (blind spot)
- Others can see but I can’t
- The self is made to be aware of this blind spot in group therapy by confrontation, feedback,
leveling, reality check.

SUBCONSCIOUS

- If during treatment the self and others get a glimpse into the unconscious then it is a bonus.
CONFRONTATION

- Presenting a person of himself by describing how I see him. It takes courage cause addicts
are accustomed to people please for the approval of others
- It is more helpful to be revealing than to be “right”

REALITY CHECK

- Is like holding up a mirror to let the other person see how he appears to us.
- In this manner we help the person see himself accurately by removing his blindness and self
delusion

LEVELING

- Is taking the risk of being known by spontaneously reporting our feelings


- Anger is a feeling that should be expressed cause if they are repressed and stuffed in, it can
lead to discomfort and acting out side ways

DEFENSES THAT HIDE TRUE FEELINGS:

1. Defiance 6. Threatening
2. Silence 7. Evading
3. Withdrawing 8. Intimidating
4. Frowning 9. Accusing/ blaming
5. Explaining

GOAL OF GROUP THERAPY:

1. To discover ourselves and others as feeling persons


2. To I.D. the defenses that prevent this discovery
3. To effect change by identifying specifically the aspects that need improvements and
development.
4. To expose and break the denial of participants

FEELINGS ARE EMPHASIZED IN G.T. FOR THE FF: REASONS:

1. To identify the defenses that hide true feelings


2. To be in touch with our true feelings
3. To avoid emotional reasoning, to address the feelings that fueled the addiction cycle

What was once a feeling has hardened into attitudinal posture character defect. If we are to change
we have to rediscover ourselves at a feelings level because feelings are facts and we have to focus
on these facts
THE WEARISOME BROTHER

“Look for one,” says St. Bernard, “and pay his weight in gold if a
wearisome and bad tempered religious is lacking in the monastery.”
This wearisome or bad tempered brother who appears so unlike
Christ because he insults and injures is looked upon the saints as a physician
sent to us by Christ Himself.
St. Dorotheus relates that a certain monk was quietly and
peaceably sitting in his cell. A brother came and spoke a disturbing word. The
monk was troubled and vexed saying, “If that brother did not come, I should
not have been angry.” The monk was deceived; the brother only showed him
that anger was still alive in him.
When we are insulted or even injured and are angered and
impatient, this is a sign surely that our soul is sick. In fact, if we are not sick,
we won’t suffer. The wearisome brother only placed a finger on our own
weakness and we reacted badly because the weak spot is there. Instead, we
should admit that we have a sore spot, and be grateful from the heart to the
brother because through him we learned that we have something which could
prevent us from going to heaven.
Here are the reasons why God allows this wearisome people
around us. First, to prevent us from deceiving ourselves into thinking we are
already perfect souls. Secondly, to help us achieve greater self-knowledge
through the vices that are aroused in our souls. If anger is not in us we would
not get angry.
Let us not think that the wearisome brother can destroy or harm us. Or that if
he is not around, life would be easier. No, it is the wearisome brother that will
bring us closer to God, for it is Christ Himself who corrects and admonishes us
through him
DAY 4

A.Boundaries

B. New
Pattern of
Living
BOUNDARIES
(Fences, Rules, Regulations, Terms and Conditions)

Must be: Clear, Specific, Firm and Consistent.

Boundaries - Are our sense of ourselves. It is our perception of how we are different from others

physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually.

 They exist for our protection


 It is necessary to keep it intact for us to have separate feelings, thoughts and realities.
 Our boundaries are not fixed they change with what we feel and the people we are with
 Are our strongest expressions of self
 It is our sense of knowing who we are in the relation to others around us.

Boundaries are violated…


 Intentionally – to retaliate, inflict pain, deceive
 Unconscious – honest mistake

PHYSICAL VIOLATION -We determine how and when we want to be touched

-are our physical comfort zone

o Marital rape
o Physical Abuse/ Violennce
o Physical Advances (inappropriate touching)
o Physical Neglect / abandonment

EMOTIONAL VIOLATION -We take responsibility for expressing our emotions and notice the

impact of our behavior on others.

o Shaming
o Humiliation
o Degration
INTELLECTUAL VIOLATION - Lets us trust how we view the world

-Allows us and others to formulate their/our own opinions,

ideas, concepts

Violations: * Super imposing one’s ideas and concepts on another person

* Labeling and branding another person’s ideas as inferior and

Degrading the person further

*Being an ‘Intellectual snob”


*Parents constantly making major and minor decision for a child – will eventually
erode
the child’s confidence and child will eventually distrust his own decision making
ability.

SPIRITUAL VIOLATION - lets us and others embrace humanness – that we have our

limitations and relative capacities

-Allowing self and others to formulate and have a personal


understanding concept and relationship with a higher power and towards
others

-Allowing Self and others to nurture, develop and understand the (3)
major relationships with self/ others/ higher power of his/her

Violations: *Forcing a child to believe that a higher power is a punishing one or non existent

*Not allowing another person to have his/her own understanding of H.P.

*Abandoning and neglecting a child who is in pain and wanting comfort and support

will create spiritual scars – resulting in rugged individuals


A New Pattern of Living
“We suspect that if we do not use what we have, we will lose what
we have.”

Addiction gave pattern to our lives, and with it a meaning – a


dark, diseased meaning, to be sure, but a meaning nonetheless. The
Narcotics Anonymous recovery program gives us a new pattern of
living to replace our old routines. And with that new pattern comes
a new meaning to our lives, one of light and hope.
What is the new pattern of living? Instead of isolation, we find
fellowship. Instead of living blindly, repeating the same mistakes
again and again, we regularly examine ourselves, free to keep what
helps us grow and discard what doesn’t. Rather than constantly
trying to get by on our own limited power, we develop a conscious
contact with a loving Power greater than ourselves.
Our life must have a pattern. Maintain our recovery; we must
maintain the new patterns our program has taught us. By giving
regular attention to these patterns, we will maintain the freedom
we’ve found from the deadly disease of addiction, and keep hold of
the meaning recovery has brought to our lives.

Just for today: I will begin a new pattern in my life: the regular
maintenance of my recovery.
DAY 5

A. Cross
Addiction

B. Movie 28
Days
CROSS ADDICTION
OBJCTIVE”
 To knowledge about addiction and why does tis happen.
 To know the different forms of unhealthy dependencies.
 To gain knowledge and expore different ways to avoid
cross addiction
Cross Addiction - When a person who is dependent on one drug becomes
dependent on another mood altering substances or another obsessive
compulsive behavior or focused on another activity that generates fulfillment
and satisfaction to fill the void left by addiction
HOW does this happen? DENIAL
DENIAL – when the person rationalizes, intellectualizes that he can use
another mood altering substance other than the drug of choice because he
thinks he doesn’t have a problem with this new substance
-Rationalize that his new drug is not as harmful as the drug of choice
Denial Form:
“If my doctor prescribed it, it must be ok”
“I’m sure a little wine w/ dinner cant hurt.”
Other forms of unhealthy dependencies:
Since early in recovery leaves a void- chemically dependent people are very
vulnerable and are attracted to anything that might give a sense of pleasure/
fulfillment and satisfaction
 Unhealthy relationships
 Compulsive eating
 Exercise addiction – makes the brain produce endorphin substances –
giving a sense of euphoria – endorphin being a feel good neuro
transmitter
How to avoid cross addiction?
1. Abstinence – from all mood altering chemicals/parallel activities that
generate pleasure/fulfillment and satisfaction
2. Immersion in recovery environment
3. Reflection-how addiction affected you and others
4. Reliance on Higher Power and recovering friends for support AA and NA
5. Prayer

Movie 28 days:
DAY 6

A.Distorted
Thinking

B. People
Pleasing
DISTORTED THINKING

- Any reasoning process that distorts reality and causes emotional


discomfort - disrupts the decision making process
- Source of inappropriate anger

1. “All or Nothing” Thinking – I will not write my work if I don’t find my


own pen

2. Over Generalization – viewing an event as a never ending pattern of


defeat

Example: I can never be in recovery cause this is my 4th


rehab already- all treatments are the same.

3. Mental Filter – you take the negative details and magnify them while
filtering out all positive
aspects of the situation.
Example: counting the worries and difficulties not the
blessings.
4. Discounting the Positive

Example: taking for granted the good rewards of sobriety


5. Jumping to conclusions

Example: conclude that things are bad or getting worse


without evidence
6. Magnification or Minimization

Example: A. I took only one joint and since I don’t have a


problem with marijuana then its O.K.

B. You forgot to buy me what I needed – so I believe


you are worthless
7. Emotional Reason – you believed that what you feel must be true
automatically

Example: I feel stupid maybe I am one


8. “What if” Statements

Example: what if I try a small amount of this substance


which in the first place is never a problem

9. Should Statements

Example: you should never forget to buy or attend to my


needs

10. Labelling

Example: instead of saying I made a mistake – I am a loser


or failure.
11. Blaming – oneself or others
 You hold others responsible for your pain, or else you blame
yourself for every problem or reversal

12. Personalization – you think everything people do or say is some


kind of a reaction to you. You also try to compare yourself to others.
Trying to determine who is smarter, etc.

13. Polarized Thinking – things are black or white, good or bad. You
have to be perfect or you are a failure there is no middle ground.

14. Being right – you are continually on trial to prove your opinions
and actions are correct

15. Heaven’s reward – you expect all your sacrifices and self denial
to pay off as if there were someone keeping score.
PEOPLE PLEASING

The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked. As they went
along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old
man was walking and the boy was riding. The man and the boy thought
maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.
Later they passed some people that remarked, “What a shame, he
makes that little boy walked.” They then decided they both would walk.
Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid
to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the
donkey.
Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how
awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man said they
were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they
crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and they fell into
the river and drowned.
The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your ass goodbye
DAY 7

A. Treatment Tools For


Successful Recovery

B. Art Therapy
TREATMENT TOOLS FOR SUCCESFUL RECOVERY

OBJECTIVES:
 To explore and identify effective ways for a successful recovery.

Treatment for chemical dependency is not something someone does to you.


It is something you do for yourself.
Even the best program won’t succeed if you don’t practice H.O.W.

A. Do some soul searching


- Must face the past and talk about it rather than denial of not wanting to
talk about it.
- Talking a hard look at life specially the pains and hurts inflicted on
others and on self.
- Looking and disclosing the dirty laundry and unmanageability

B. Listen and Observe


- Because one can never tell when or from whom the words of wisdom
that can turn your life around will come from.
- Realization and awakenings can come from the most unexpected person,
place or situation.
- (God works in very mysterious ways)

C. Be honest
- Honesty is the foundation of recovery especially to thane own self
- Honesty is the best policy
- Half truth or untruth can sabotage recovery

D. Commit yourself to a twelve step program


- Making a commitment to a 12 step A.A or N. A fellowship to serve of
after care

E. Be patient
- Recovery need time and effort cannot happen overnight
- Addiction and alcoholism did not happen just yesterday therefore you
cannot be in recovery tomorrow

DAY 9

A. Relapse
Warning Sign

B. Seeing
The Good
RELAPSE WARNING SIGNS

Relapse - Is a return of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that lead back to using and
drinking

1. Resentments - Holding on to old hurts and pains and re-living


old pains and history
2. Dishonesty - Begin with small unnecessary lies told to friends
and family
3. Impatience - Frustration sets in and wanting things
to materialize fast
4. Argumentative - Arguing small and ridiculous points of view
indicates a need to always be right
5. Depression the most critical sign cause addicts know of only one
Familiar way to snap out of the feeling- to use/drink
6. Self pity starts to feel sorry for self and looses drive and enthusiasm
For recovery
7. Complacency - Not immersing in the recovery environment-
Associating with the old using drinking friends

8. Greed - Wanting too much-attention, money, power etc…


9. Lack of Gratitude - failing to count the blessings of sobriety
10. Feeling cured- thinking that there is no problem of use/drink in the first place
11. Omnipotence - Resisting to accept help; believing he/she alone can do it , no longer
teachable or open minded
12. Lack of faith
Seeing the Good

When we focus our attention on all the imperfections in people, events,


and relationships, we often lose sight of everything else. We stop seeing the
good, positive aspects when all we’re looking for are the negative ones.
Seeing the good is a choice we make, not to deny or ignore
imperfections, but to see them as only one part of a whole person or situation.
Instead of defining others as their mistakes or flaws, we can accept them as
imperfect human beings with strengths as well as weaknesses. We can choose
to focus our attention on their strengths and the good in our relationship with
them.
Also, seeing the good in situations, circumstances, and events enables us
to learn from them, enjoy them, and improve them. it helps us keep a healthy
perspective on them, balancing their negative and positive aspects. It keeps us
from wasting opportunities for growth, well-being, and true happiness.

I choose to focus on the good aspects on people, relationships, and events.


DAY 10

A. Expectation
 Road Map
to Recovery

B.Detachment
Expectations

Whenever we enter into new relationships or situations, we bring with


us certain expectations. We may expect our past experiences to repeat
themselves or our idealistic fantasies to be fulfilled. We may expect our
conflicts to be resolved and our problems eliminated by a change of scenery,
job, hobby, home, school, or relationship.
Some of our expectations may be healthy and reasonable. We may
reasonably expect to be treated with respect and honesty in our relationships.
We may expect others to fulfill their end of clearly expressed and agreed-upon
contracts. But some of our expectations may be unrealistic and self-defeating.
Whether or not our expectations are reasonable, they will sometimes
not be met. If we try to keep our expectations realistic and adopt a flexible
attitude of acceptance toward the unexpected, we can maintain our peace,
serenity, and happiness no matter what happens.

My expectations are reasonable and flexible.

(Road of life)  Learn new skills and practice abstinence
 Pursue your dreams
Detachment

If we see every flaw in our behavior and relationships as reflections of


our self-worth, we can’t work through and improve them. If we believe that
ups and downs of other people, circumstances, and events determine the state
of our lives and minds, we become helpless victims of powers beyond our
control.

Learning to detach ourselves from our problems and all the flaws and
difficulties around us frees our attention and energy. When we let go of
believing that our self-worth, happiness, and well-being depend on the
avoidance of problems, we can face imperfections knowing we’re still all right.
We can accept those things we can’t change and get to work on those we can.
We can use our time and energy positively and effectively. Our happiness,
well-being, and self-image always rest in our own hands, regardless of the
flaws in ourselves, others, and life.

I detach my happiness, well-being, and self-worth from my problems.


DAY 11

A. Winners

B. Movie ”
Flight”
WINNERS

We came to the program with different opinions about who were the
winners. Some of us thought a fat bank account meant winning. Others looked
on how little one had lost before coming into the Program as criteria for
winning. There are those who are smart, and others with good jobs. We
discover rather quickly that winning has nothing to do with how we appear or
what we have.
Winning is about how we live. Therefore, we want to watch the men
who had time in the Program. We don’t look for just birthday numbers. We
watch how the Steps have been and are being worked. We look for the men
who exhibit humility, gratitude, and spirituality. The winners are usually the
ones involved in service. They understand that to keep what they have, they
must give it away. The winners freely share their experience, strength, and
hope with all of us.
I want to stick with the winners. If I do, the winners will stick with me.

PATHWAY TO RECOVERY CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY TREATMENT CENTER


Cagayan de Oro City
A CHECKLIST OF SYMPTOMS LEADING TO RELAPSE
“TRIGGERS”
By doing over this list of symptoms regularly, either by ourselves or with someone else, we can
detect early warning signs of relapse. We can look at this as preventive maintenance. Clearly the
time to prevent a relapse is long before the irrational thinking reaches the final insanity of taking
the first drink or drug.

1. EXHAUSTION – Allowing ourselves to become overly tired or in poor health. Some alcoholics or
drug addicts are prone to work addiction – perhaps in a hurry to “make up for lost time”. Good
health and enough rest are important. If we feel well we are apt to think well. Feel poorly, and
our thinking is apt to deteriorate. Feel bad enough, and we might begin thinking a drink
couldn’t make it any worse.

2. DISHONESTY – When we begin to deny the reality of what we are and how we came to realize
it, we are getting into trouble. This can begin with a pattern of unnecessary little lies and deceits
with family, friends, or fellow workers. Next we begin to lie to ourselves – to rationalize –
making excuses or not doing what we do not want to do, or for doing what we know what we
should no do.

3. IMPATIENCE – Frustration because things aren’t moving fast enough for us. The recovery
process itself is training in dealing with these feelings. Our “self – will running riot” must be
curbed. We lived one day at a time.

4. ARGUMENTATIVESNESS – Arguing small and ridiculous points of view indicates a need to


always be right. “Why don’t you be reasonable and agree with me?” – Looking for an excuse to
drink?

5. DREPRESSION – Unreasonable and unaccountable despair may occur in cycles and be dealt
with by talking to others about them.

6. SELF-PITY – This is a luxury the recovering addict/alcoholic cannot afford. It is denial of reality
and should be treated by remembering where we came from.

7. COMPLACENCY – There is nothing wrong with a healthy fear of alcoholics/drugs. When we dull
our keen awareness that is a poison for us, addicts/alcoholics, a feeling of false security gets in –
our defenses are down. More relapses occur when things are going well than otherwise.
Cockiness and letting down on discipline of recovery lead to relapses.
8. EXPECTING TOO MUCH FROM OTHERS – “I’ve changed; why hasn’t everybody else?” It’s a
plus if they do, but it is still our problem if they do not. They may not trust you yet, may still be
looking for further proof. You cannot expect others to change their lifestyles just because you
have. Who is the only person you can really change?

9. WANTING TOO MUCH – Do not set goals we cannot reach with normal effort. Do not expect too
much. It’s always great when good things were not expecting to happen. You will get what you
are entitled to as long as you do your best, but maybe as soon as you think you do your best, but
maybe not as soon as you think you should. We learn to recognize the difference between wants
and needs.

10. FORGETTING GRATITUDE – We check our mental attitude by asking ourselves if we are
grateful for being sober. If we are thankful, we have a healthy attitude and remember how it
was. If we not to have forgotten where we came from and are headed back.

11. IT CAN’T HAPPEN TO ME – this is a dangerous thinking. Almost everything can happen o us
and is more likely if we get careless. Remember we have a progressive disease and we will be in
worse shape if we relapse.

Relationships

If we expect people and our relationships with them to be perfect, we are


doomed to failure. If we leave as soon as any problems or flaws appear in our
relationships, none of them will last very long. No relationship ever reaches a
point where conflict is no longer at least an occasional part of it.

Accepting conflicts as a natural part of our relationships helps us to begin


resolving them. Free of delusions and expectations that no conflicts should
ever arise, we can concentrate on honest, open communication, negotiation,
and resolution. Working through these differences strengthens our
relationships and brings us closer together. It helps us understand ourselves
and one another in ways that may be impossible to learn otherwise. It teaches
us the skills we need for healthier, happier relationships in the future.

I accept conflicts as part of my relationships and work at resolving them


peacefully.

5. Loss of ability to worry
6. Contented feeling of connectedness with others and nature
7. Sense of well being, purpose, meaning and contentment
8. Tendencies to let things happen
9. Increasing susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable
urge to extent it.
10. Unmistakable ability to enjoy every moment of life
Choices
The fear of making choices can paralyze us. We may feel unable to make
any decisions without an ironclad guarantee of the results. We do this because on
some level, conscious or unconscious, we believe it is possible to make perfect
decisions. We believe there is a perfect solution to every problem, a perfect
choice in every situation, if only we can find it.
But there are no perfect choices. We all have to make lots of decisions
based on the best information and intentions we can have at the time. Sometimes
our choices turn out great, sometimes okay, and sometimes not so good.
Whatever happens, life goes on, and if we let ourselves learn from our mistakes,
we’ll be able to make better decisions in the future. The only perfect choice is the
best one we can make here and now.

I calmly make the best choices I can, accept their result, and learn from each one.

B. Signs of
Healthy and

Boundaries
Ask for Mercy, Not Justice

“Many of us have difficulty admitting that we caused harm for others… We cut away
our justifications and our ideas of being a victim.”

Our lives are progressing nicely. Things are going good, and each year in
recovery brings more material and spiritual gifts. We may have a little money in the
bank, a new car, or a committed relationship. We have a little self-confidence, and
our faith in a Higher Power is growing.
Then, something happens. Someone breaks into our new car and steals the
stereo, or the person we’re in the relationship with becomes unfaithful. Right away,
we feel victimized. “Where’s the justice?” we wail. But if we take a look back on our
behavior, we may find that we’ve been guilty of doing what’s just been done to us.
We realize we wouldn’t really want justice – not for ourselves, and not for others.
What we want is mercy.
We thank a loving God for the compassion we’ve been shown, and we take
the time to appreciate all the precious gifts that recovery brings.

Just for today: I will pray for mercy, not justice. I am grateful for the compassion
I’ve been shown, and will offer mercy to others.

DAY 20

A.It’s Never Too


Late To Make
A Change

B. Role
Playing
“IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO MAKE A CHANGE”

At any time, you can decide to change the road, you’re on in life, take a new direction,
follow a new trail. You are the only one who really knows what you want from life and the
right road for you. You are the one who can fulfil your dreams and receive the joys and
happiness that comes from reaching those aspirations and goals.
Don’t expect others to be responsible for your own happiness and your success. You
must take control and be incharge of your own destiny and day-to-day situations. Take
advice (most of the time it’s FREE) and listen to what others have to say and what concerns
they have; it’s important to have different point of view. But always validate those words of
wisdom with your own set of standards and make sure that the advice has meaning to your
sense of reality.
You must understand yourself enough to understand what you want in life and what
desires worthwhile for your future. You need to depend upon yourself and your talents.
Appreciate others for their personal skills and abilities, but always to continue to focus on
your own strengths and energies. Life is much too short to spend it worrying about
someone else’s accomplishments and expecting someone else to be responsible for making
your life better.
If have dreams then you have a purpose. You have something to believe in and work
towards obtaining. Dedicate yourself to yourself. Promise yourself a life a life filled with
love, and then whatever roads you travel will be the roads you want them to be.
DAY 21

A.Letting Go

B. Movie
( Bill W. )
Letting Go

We humans are blessed with something called an imagination. This wonderful gift
enables us to envision things that have never occurred in reality. It helps us to move
beyond the past and keep changing, growing, and improving ourselves and our lives. But it
can also create impossible dreams and visions of perfection.
Letting go of our attachment to unrealistic fantasies doesn’t mean we have to give up
all our dreams and goals. It means understanding the different roles that imaginary visions
and realistic goals play in our lives. It means being fully present in the here and now, with
our awareness unclouded by the imaginary circumstances and events. When we let go in
this way, we become free to devote our energy and attention to the very real possibilities
and opportunities in our lives. We discover that when we give it our full attention, reality
can be even better than we imagined.

I let go of my attachment to images and perfection and instead focus on my real


possibilities and opportunities.

DAY 24

A.Dysfunctional
Family

B. Pride is the
Mask of One
Own Faults
DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY
“system” family unit essential for a family function and survival.
Most important because it provides a sort of check and balance that stabilizes and holds
together.
WHAT ARE THE SYSTEM’S NEEDS?
Home environment is supposed to be a safe harbour, a place to escape from external stress and a place
where family can relax and be themselves. Worth, health, relief and stress resolve.

DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES RESULT TO:


1. Mental illness
2. Trauma
3. Tragedy
4. Very poor parenting skills
5. Personality disorder
6. Different kinds of impairment
 - conflict - faulty disciplinary
 Neglect - gender prejudice
 Abuse of all sorts - sexuality intolerance
 Shame - denial of feelings and family facts
 Conditional love - emotional deregulations

THE FOUR ROLES


1. The hero ( usually first born child )
- Devotes time and attention to making family look “normal”
- Perfectionist over responsible, self-sufficient, over achievers.
- The goal in life is to achieve success.
- Always brave and strong
- Workaholic
2. The rebel ( scape goat )
- Trouble maker
- Problems in school, drugs, petty theft, pregnancy
3. The mascot/clown
- Use comedy to ease his own and other discomforts
- Often result to immaturity
4. The lost child
- Quit, loner, the dreamer, very shy
- Fails to develop social and communication skills
- Can’t express feelings properly
- Have difficulties with intimacy and forming relationships.

BOUNDARIES
- something that show where an area ends.
- Limits that define acceptable behaviour
- Something that separates something from the other
- Rules, regulation, terms and conditions.
Pride is the mask of one’s own faults.

Fear has many disguises. Sometimes it puts on sexy clothes and talks in the voice of lust.
Sometimes it wears the mask of anger or greed or envy. And sometimes fear pretends to be
pride. “ I’m smart and strong, “ we say to ourselves. “I don’t need help. Whatever I have to
do, I can do alone.“ These are the kinds of things we say when we refuse to join a group or
put off asking someone to be our sponsor or even confide in a friend.

But is it pride or fear talking? Pride takes the illogical stand that in spite of the pain we’ve
lived with for so long we really are better than others. Fear, on the other hand,
whisperingly suggests that others may be better than we are, so we’d be safer to hold back
so they’ll never know. Reaching out for any kind of help would make us vulnerable.

But no one grows as well without support. Strength and pride aside, we need other
people’s input, insights, and encouragement. We need people we can trust to hold us
accountable. We need to hear about their struggles and successes. When we insist on going
it alone, it’s usually not because we’re more independent and self-sufficient than other
people. It’s because we’re afraid.

I need a community of peers for support.

B. Changing

Reservations

“ Relapse is never an accident. Relapse is a sign that we have a reservation in our program”.

A reservation is something we set aside for future use. In our case, a reservation is the
expectation that, if such-and-such happens, we will surely relapse. What event do we expect
will be too painful to bear? Maybe we think that if a spouse or lover leaves us, we will have to
get high. If we lose our job, surely, we think, we will use. Or maybe it’s the death of a loved one
that we expect to be unbearable. In my case, the reservations we harbor give us permission to
use when they come true- as they often do.

We can prepare ourselves for success instead of relapse by examining our expectations
and altering them where we can. Most of us carry within us a catalog of anticipated misery
closely related to our fears. We can learn how to survive pain by watching other members live
through similar pain. We can apply their lessons to our expectations. Instead of telling ourselves
we will have to get high if this happens, we can quietly reassure ourselves that we, too, can stay
clean through whatever life brings us today.

Just for today: I will check for any reservations that may endanger my recovery and share
them with another addict.
