Relapse Prevention
Because of my honesty I have seen more growth in myself during my last 2-months in treatment than I did during the 14-months time before I relapsed. When I think of relapse prevention these are the things that come to mind and these are the things that I’m practicing to keep myself from going back down that dark road.
Faith Without Works is Dead
Faith without works is dead. That is something I have learned in the rooms of AA. Since I was fifteen, I never really understood the meaning of that until recently. I have always questioned people who had faith in God. I never understood how people found peace and comfort in something they could not touch or see. I could not ever seem to find that connection that so many people talk about.
Holding On To Faith
Through those trying times, I won't lie to you, I sometimes lost my faith, I lost my way, and forgot who I was, but somehow, someway, my faith returned to me, and it gave me the munch needed boost of strength and hope I needed to get to where I am at today. I have not only had faith in God, but also faith in the people I care the most about. I have put my complete faith in them, to help me, and push me to my true potential in life.
