"On Recovery Road"? Which One?" - Part 2 (That's me on the right!)

“There are many paths to recovery!” Is your “Recovery GPS” programmed for the direct route?

The “Road” begins with sobriety which may be imposed through family or work interventions. Even by court mandates! Preferably, sobriety is voluntarily attained by the individual for personal reasons. However, the state of sobriety doesn’t speak to the quality and satisfaction of one’s life, does it?

Recovery is another matter. It’s built on sobriety but involves one’s entire human experience.

Though there are numerous ways or paths to establish one’s sobriety, most had their “Recovery GPS” programmed to take the “scenic” route! You’ve been on a scenic route - narrow, windy roads, lower speed limits and many distractions disguised as attractions!

There is a reason for this. Conventional thinking is that you have altered your state with substances so often that you now have an altered state! You can only take so much at one time!

After all . . . . . . . . . . .

YOU ARE NOW DIFFERNET! YOU ARE AN ADDICT/ALCOHOLIC . . . .FOREVER!

The route to recovery? You’ll need life-long treatment! You know -implants, medications & meetings!

Please remember that kind of instruction is, for the most part, is well-meaning.

However, a course correction is in order.

Remember who you are! A human being, being human. magnificent and flawed.

Like every human being! Agree? Great! Now, program your “Recovery GPS”!

On Recovery Road? Which one?

The life-long route measured in years and decades with its medical pit stops and reduced speed limits?

Or the direct route - “Rapid-Release Recovery”, measured in weeks and months?

I thought so!
