I have a Double Trouble Addiction
Otherwise known as someone that has a a psychiatric and addiction disorder. Having a mental illness has opened some door in recovery that I would not have had access too. That being groups and personal counseling at the county behavioral health clinic. There I was able to integrate cognitive behavioral therapy into my addiction treatment. That at first did begin a conflict with the A.A. modality of addiction treatment. However I was able to use the infinite wisdom of a common saying heard in the rooms: "take what you need and leave the rest". I applied that saying to the whole A.A. program. It works if you rework it.

Days Clean & Sober |
My addiction treatment program looks like the following list. I see my program as a way to live peacefully with others and with myself. To also bring me into an overall sense of well-being.
A.A. (just the meetings)
D.R.A.
Effectively cope with stress.
Exercise.
Group counseling and or 12-Step meetings.
Learning the science about addiction and relapse.
Living purposefully.
Managing emotions.
Meditation.
Personal counseling.
Proper nutrition.
Sober friends and relationship.
SMART Recovery.
Zen Buddhism.

 I'm not into religion, quasi-religion and Higher Power spirituality. If it works for you that's cool, you know, whatever floats your boat and all that jazz. I rather stay away from those that proselytize about their beliefs. I have what works for me and thats all I need to know .
Live And Let Live.

December 23, 2007, 2:37 pm I'm
an
(double
vision)
alcoholic...0_o
As
an
AA
member
and
onetime
strong
atheist
I
thought
that
I
would
not
be
able
to
utilize
the
12
steps
as
part
of
my
recovery.
I
would
go
to
the
meetings
and just
sit-in
and
not
participate
in

I'm
doing
a
lot
better
(not
struggling)..
I
remember
the
1st
time
around
when
I
told
my
sponsor
that
I
was
struggling..
She
just
said
"Then
stop
struggling"
Good
answer
I
supposed,
so
I
took
it
onboard
back
then,
but
it's
all
taking
time
this
time
around,
which
is
fine
by
me..
It's
just
taking
time
for
me
to
remember
all
the
stuff
I
learnt
before
so,
but
it's
all
good...
I
love
you
my
old
friend
so
take
care
yourself
ok..(((hugs)))
Please
keep
going
onward
&
upward
FOR
ME??
Take
care
of
yourself
my
friend;
you
are
very
special
to
me..
love,
mazzy..
