Embrace change and growth in recovery from "summary" of The Real Thirteenth Step by Tina B. Tessina
The process of recovery is not just about getting clean or sober. It’s about changing your whole life. Recovery is not a return to where you were before you started using. It's about growth and becoming a new person. Recovery involves learning new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others. It's a process of changing your attitudes and beliefs, finding new interests, and developing new skills. Recovery is about becoming the best version of yourself that you can be. Change is a natural part of life, but it can be scary. Many people resist change because they fear the unknown. They may be comfortable with the way things are, even if they are not happy. But change is necessary for growth. It’s through change that we learn and grow. Embracing change means being open to new possibilities and willing to take risks. It means letting go of old ways of thinking and being open to new ideas. In recovery, change is essential. You can't keep doing the same things and expect different results. You have to be willing to try new things and take risks. Recovery is a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. It’s about facing your fears, confronting your past, and learning from your mistakes. It’s about letting go of old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you. Growth in recovery is about becoming the person you were meant to be. It’s about finding your true self and living authentically. It’s about discovering your passions and pursuing your dreams. Growth in recovery is a process of becoming more self-aware, building self-esteem, and developing healthy relationships. It’s about learning to love and accept yourself and others. Embracing change and growth in recovery requires courage and commitment. It means facing your fears and stepping out of your comfort zone. It means being willing to take risks and make mistakes. It means being open to new experiences and opportunities. It means being willing to learn and grow. It’s not always easy, but the rewards are worth it. Recovery is a journey of transformation, and embracing change and growth is essential to that journey.
