Strengthening My Recovery

Product Information

By attending regular meetings we come to a better understanding of our past so we can more effectively restructure our lives today. We begin to see more clearly what is positive and healthy in ourselves. I really believe that this Guidebook will fundamentally alter how recovery in ACA is understood, and how it happens.” -Fellow Traveler The following commands can be entered via DTMF tones using your phone's dial pad while in a Zoom meeting: By working Step Eleven we are given another reprieve from our co-dependent thinking and behavior. We learn the difference between our will for ourselves, what we think another’s will for us might be, and God’s will. We are reminded that our Higher Power is not us, or another person, place or thing. Our lives become simplified. The question that remains for us is - ‘Am I willing to pray only for knowledge of God’s will for me, during those times when I want my will so much?’ ‘God’s will for me must be to have this job, this relationship, this car, this experience.’

When we hear others who have done the work and are reaping the benefits of recovery, we are filled with hope for our own future. As we work the Steps and see progress in ourselves, we willingly reach out to others in need. By honestly and openly sharing our experience, we help them open up to the possibility of their own growth.

We approach prayer and meditation in different ways … Some commune with nature and the outdoors; some say words like ‘serenity’ and ‘love’ to feel quiet within; some use affirmations to bring their higher power into their thoughts; some kneel in quiet repose; some sit and breathe deeply; and some use self-talk to connect with themselves and their higher power. In Chapters 17-21, Nurturing a Loving Inner Home, you’ll connect more deeply with your inner family to build a loving inner home. Prayer and meditation were given their own separate step, after our thorough housecleaning in Steps Four through Nine … We need to take time, regularly, for spiritual reflection. I have the right to determine and honor my own priorities and goals, and to leave others to do the same.Please note that you may not gain entry to this meeting if trying to join more than ten minutes late.

The Loving Parent Guidebook finally provides practical instruction on HOW to reparent.” -Fellow Traveler I used to soothe myself by lengthy scrolling through the news and social media on my phone. If I could gather enough information on what was happening in the world before getting out of bed, perhaps I could side-step the day’s dangers ahead. While I did end up being well-informed, this pastime didn’t soothe the little child within, the one who really needed soothing.
