Part of the strength of Twelve Step<br>fellowships lies in the ability of people to connect<br>with others, even those who have not yet got the<br>message. It\u2019s not surprising that such empathy<br>should exist, and it is up to each of us to make sure<br>we put ourselves to good use in helping others,<br>which is our primary purpose. Am I doing all I can<br>to help my fellow sufferers?<\/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-5e76c57f8bb912b22280660b85ea0314\"><strong><br>I am no longer alone and for that I am grateful. Now<br>that sobriety has become for me the new normal, I<br>can work to build my life around my recovery in all<br>sorts of unexpected ways. I develop new interests,<br>visit new places and meet a variety of new people<br>without fear or suspicion on either side. Like often<br>attracts like, and our true selves, living lives of<br>principle and high standards, will attract similar<br>people. Today I give thanks to God that my fear of<br>people has been replaced by the pleasure of<br>connection.<\/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;Tiktok.com\/@recoverydays Remember Mindfulness \u2013 smile several times Twelve Step Programme Part of the Twelve Step programme is aboutcarrying the message to those still suffering fromaddiction, just as others carried the message to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/?p=2000\">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":[15,27,30,26,33,23,32],"class_list":["post-2000","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-addiction-treatment","tag-connection","tag-daily-inspiration","tag-daily-reflections","tag-fellowship","tag-meditation","tag-recovery-journey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000","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=2000"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2002,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000\/revisions\/2002"}],"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=2000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
