Recover Integrity @recover-integrity - Tumblr Blog

We're trying to map out spirituality. I like to kind of place it within the realm of a person. How do I interface with spirit? Where's my spirit? What was going on with me? There are a few terms that are helpful!

Understanding The Higher Self By Recover Integrity

If there wasn’t a Higher Self, nobody would ever transform for the better. The act of transforming for the better is the act of tuning into the Higher Self and all the work that it takes to do that. So that you can begin to have clarity, think, feel, and behave in a way that’s aligned with your Higher Self. To know more, please once go through this blog.

Studies have shown differences in substance abuse between genders. For example, men have higher rates of alcohol and marjuana consumption. Men are also more likely to use illegal drugs and abuse prescription medications. Also, substances affect men differently than women.

There are two ways I look at authenticity. I look at general authenticity as a state of being. I want to be an authentic person when I wake up every day in my life as a ground and as a foundation.

BEING AND ACTING WITH AUTHENTICITY: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

I want to be compassionate, kind, caring, thoughtful, strong. I mean, I have these descriptors. The idea of the person I want to be that I am shooting for–and I aim towards that in my being, right? And am I authentically moving towards that ideal in my interpersonal interactions? To know more, please visit this link.

Some level of authenticity finds us in the journey at a particular moment. I mean that deep authenticity that we are talking about.

KEYS TO LIVING AUTHENTICALLY By RECOVERY INTEGRITY

Another way in which we understand the concept of authenticity has to do with the interpersonal realm. Am I being authentic with somebody? Am I presenting myself to the best of my ability as I actually am? Am I authentic? For more information visit this link.

One area were people struggle deeply, are in deep conflict when they come into recovery is, the tension between autonomy and belonging. How do we bridge this gap? This internal conflict?Through compassion and understanding. Compassionate strength.

There is a common meme that was floating around in recovery, I think it was in a ted talk based on this study, It said the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, the opposite of addiction is connection

I have never met somebody who is coming into recovery from addiction that is not stunted in some particular areas of the self. That is not stuck or split in a particular area of growth in a statistically identifiable way.

Understanding Change and Raising The Bottom Must Substance Abusers lose nearly all before getting help? Interventions must address the particular circumstances of each client who might enter treatment and no, not every user has to “hit bottom” for intervention and subsequent treatment...

One of the things that we work with in recovery are called splits, and splits are part of the psyche, part of the self that split off from each other and are not communicating well with each other. A common example would be my cognitive capacity, my ability to think and reason, and my emotional capacity. Those two capacities should grow together relatively close.

We have got these areas of identity, emotion regulation, emotional awareness, cognitive ability (my ability to think in more complex ways) that’s actually worth understanding.

Recovery is not abstinence. to better understand recovery is to understand that it is abstinence PLUS: learning, changing and growing. It’s the learning, changing and growing that protects me from relapse. I no longer have the same thoughts, feelings and responses that I did before. The real work of recovery is about that growth.

People project dogma because they experience dogmatic personalities in Alcoholics Anonymous, and that makes sense. Often dogma comes from pain and brokenness. In response to my difficulty, I might create a whole crazy rule structure to how I have to be… …and if I go too far down that road, I might create a whole crazy rule structure about how you have to be.

Now this doesn’t necessarily pertain to people who are already “fitness freaks”. There's a whole group of people that come into treatment and their primary coping tool is the gym and eating well. For those people, they're not gonna get the same kind of relief from the gym beyond what they've already got. They've already dealt with the nutritional and physical aspects of their neurophysiology.

The physical components of recovery cannot be understated. It’s not my area of expertise. There are people who know much more about it than me, but it’s definitely worth talking about.

When you see it in the literature of Alcoholics Anonymous, you notice that these were people who were not only NOT particularly dogmatic, but they were also sensitive to the fact that people would be sensitive to dogma.

Dogma is not something that I want to get rid of in alcoholics anonymous. On some level, what it means to be a person in recovery, who’s engaged in traditional 12 steps is to have some sense of acceptance, that you are not in charge of the world.
