Get Sober Live Sober

Achieving Recovery Through Surrendering to Total Responsibility

If drinking and using were our only problem, then once we stopped using, all our problems would disappear.

We can see why recovery is so difficult and elusive, and why so many people struggle to get well. This is why it is so important to start your recovery with the spiritual principle of surrender. We can't defeat addiction in the traditional sense. The solution is paradoxical: victory is accomplished through surrender.

Most of our life has been spent trying to be perfect. This has been proven to be a futile existence. Now we need to learn how to become more human.

Cut yourself some slack and learn how to be compassionate with yourself and others. Get help if are having trouble with any self-sabotaging behaviors.

A miracle is always waiting for you just around the corner. So don't quit before the miracle happens and certainly don't quit after the miracle of recovery happens for you!

Wishing you all the best
