Firstly, as with any building, the foundations must be strong: I commit to complete sobriety, personal growth, keeping sober company, attending meetings and doing service \u2013 all on a regular basis. Secondly, I commit to spiritual growth through working the Twelve Steps and maintaining a dialogue with a power greater than myself. Thirdly, I commit to carrying the message to others. With these three commitments firmly established, I can attend to other matters: family, work and other interests. Whenever I have a choice to make about the future for myself or my loved ones, will I first apply the litmus test: will this be right for my recovery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-f85a1a3b6887039d6878fde3c845e739\"><strong> I must keep a positive attitude to my recovery and not allow compromises or be complacent. Regular maintenance is essential. But I must also keep an open mind and not shut myself off from new ideas. The internet is an example of a new approach to unity that many fellowships have successfully embraced. Today I give thanks to God for my recovery and ask to remain open-minded to new ideas.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View VIDEO on Facebook&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 Follow on TikTok Videos at&nbsp;https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@recoverydays?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=p YouTube&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Recoverydays_chRemember Mindfulness \u2013 sit comfortably Remember Mindfulness \u2013 close eyes briefly Making choices It\u2019s a fine thing to say: Build your life around your recovery, but what does that really mean? &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/?p=1301\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":689,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,17,31,20],"tags":[28,27,33,23,32],"class_list":["post-1301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-addiction-recovery-2","category-behavioural-addiction-2","category-daily-inspiration","category-living-skills","tag-castle-craig","tag-connection","tag-fellowship","tag-meditation","tag-recovery-journey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1301"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1336,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1301\/revisions\/1336"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
