December 12, 2020 Fear Of Change Page 362... "By working the steps, we come to accept a Higher Power's will.... We lose our fear of the unknown. We are set free." Basic Text, p. 16 Life is a series of changes, both large and small. Although we may know and accept this fact intellectually, chances are that our initial emotional reaction to change is fear. For some reason, we assume that each and every change is going to hurt, causing us to be miserable. If we look back on the changes that have happened in our lives, we'll find that most of them have been for the best. We were probably very frightened at the prospect of life without drugs, yet it's the best thing that's ever happened to us. Perhaps we've lost a job that we thought we'd die without, but later on we found greater challenge and personal fulfillment in a new career. As we venture forth in our recovery, we're likely to experience more changes. We will outgrow old situations and become ready for new ones. With all sorts of changes taking place, it's only natural to grab hold of something, anything familiar and try to hold on. Solace can be found in a Power greater than ourselves. The more we allow changes to happen at the direction of our Higher Power, the more we'll trust that those changes are for the best. Faith will replace fear, and we'll know in our hearts that all will be well. Just for Today: When I am afraid of a change in my life, I will take comfort from knowing that God's will for me is good.

Today is National Suicide Prevention Day. Dr.Renee Solomon CEO of Forward Recovery talks about the importance of National Suicide Prevention Day It is so important that we acknowledge this day as numbers of suicide have increased significantly since the pandemic began. ... Mental health is so vital to our lives. I see so many people at Forward Recovery who are having issues feeling depressed and wanting to use drugs and feel so hopeless around this pandemic. We are lucky though that we have our small community together to help during this time. Social connection makes a huge difference in battling depression. It is said to be the main factor in decreasing depression. Creating a community and feeling productive also contribute to improving mental health. I also encourage everyone to exercise on a daily basis or at least three times a week to help people feel better. This is especially important right now when we we have such few distractions. Most of our distractions aside from television have been taken away so exercising regularly helps get people out of their heads. Also, when people feel depressed or anxious they are more likely to abuse substances. Substance abuse has increased greatly during the pandemic which will continue as isolation and financial consequences become more apparent. We must all be mindful of people around us who are isolating, and seem somewhat down. People are at the highest risk of suicide if they have attempted suicide in the past and if they are clinically depressed. The most dangerous time is when they get a little bit of energy because it helps them formulate a plan on how to end their life. Please be aware of people around you and let’s use this time to be nicer to each other as we are all struggling in one way or another. If we have social connection with each other and try to form a community, we can all improve our mental health. If you are struggling with feelings of wanting to harm yourself , it’s important to seek treatment with a mental health professional. You can also call the suicide prevention hotline. 1-800-273-8255

When I was boozing and using I wanted to mix, manage and control the outcome of every feeling I had by using alcohol and drugs. I was scared of my feelings. Today I know that feelings are like the change that is happening so rapidly in my sobriety / recovery. I am the residence of my feelings. Feelings come in, stay a while, and most certainly change or leave. This feeling too shall pass, and so will the next one, and the next one. I am not my feelings.

Gardening therapy here at Forward Recovery. Pretty cool!

Self-acceptance can be defined as: the awareness of one's strengths and weaknesses, the realistic (yet subjective) appraisal of one's talents, capabilities, and general worth, and, feelings of satisfaction with one's self despite deficiencies and regardless of past behaviors and choices.[1][2][3]... According to Shepard (1979), self-acceptance is an individual's satisfaction or happiness with oneself, and is thought to be necessary for good mental health. Self-acceptance involves self-understanding, a realistic, albeit subjective, awareness of one's strengths and weaknesses. It results in an individual's feeling about oneself, that they are of "unique worth". In clinical psychology and positive psychology, self-acceptance is considered the prerequisite for change to occur. It can be achieved by stopping criticizing and solving the defects of one's self, and then accepting them to be existing within one's self. That is, tolerating oneself to be imperfect in some parts.
