Addict-shuns | Addictions Delves into Traditional 12 Steps
Over the next 12 months this blog focuses on each step being the theme for a month. It begins in September alongside Recovery Month celebrated by The National Alcohol and Drug Addiction group. The plan is to share resources, links, books, movies and insight into recovery and wholeness, along with personal insight and thoughts.
Through this blog I’ll take time to walk the 12 Steps with a fresh, wide eyed view of the each step. It’s my journey about recovery on the other side of addiction, hopefully a creative intuitive one. I have never actually worked with anyone through these steps, only having read them. I’d like to experience them firsthand as a co-dependent. I think it is a poor term not truly accurately describing one on the other side of addiction.
My experience with addiction is through my own upbringing, fellow addicts that are friends, family, acquaintances or stories heard. I do not speak for anyone who has substance addiction or like issues. Only an addict can tell his/her story. Yet those involved with them living in the circle of their insanity shares that very same story on the flip side of the coin in a mirrored way. This is the heart of Addictshun | Addictions to tell both sides.
I only know my own tendencies for obsessive compulsions towards foods, online games, old movies, and that creepy dark friend, depression, if that counts as addiction. Perhaps-the depression is a symptom or reason for avoidance, something to be investigated along the way. Using the steps created by AA I plan to unveil this journey towards wholeness and recovery.
This blog doesn’t pretend to know all about addictions, nor do I have an education through schooling or university. Life has been my university, with a passion for knowledge and wisdom about everything it takes to be whole in a seemingly broken world. So check back here regularly. Look for the banner above to get the low-down on Addictshun’s view of the 12 Steps. Your comments, stories and ideas are encouraged.
