I enjoy the benefits of technology and have personally benefited from it tremendously, there is a major downside I'm seeing out there with all this spontaneous techno - people are losing their recovery.
They don’t understand that the organic process of a recovery coming true still takes time and a course of actions. It’s so easy to tweet, text, face-time and Skype that we've forgotten the basics.
Here’s the bottom line. You can meditate (and I believe you should). You can do yoga (and I believe you should). You can drink green juice (and I believe you should). You can read tons of self-help books and go to seminars and read The Big Book (and I believe you should).
But ALL of that is merely preparation for the course of actions that is required to make your recovery come true.
And many people don’t commit to a course of action as described in the Big Book because they are afraid of surrender. But what they don’t seem to understand is that surrender is a part of your recovery coming true. That ultimately it’s not failure, it’s a lesson, and if you learn from it and keep going, surrender is the greatest teacher.
Hard work with others and following a course of actions that ultimately change the way we think – DAILY – is what separates those that recover from those that don't.
