How do we get through situations that could trigger us? In this session, we start out talking about how to get through pain and surgeries in recovery and find that the solution is similar to the way we get through normal, ongoing life in recovery- with the support of others to keep us accountable. We refer to the tool Accountabilibuddy in CRP's Toolkit Book 2 (p. 31) which is a simple list of five questions to review with a healthy friend on a daily basis in order to stay accountable to various aspects of life in recovery-not just to stay on the right track but also to build consistency that really saves us when shit hits the fan. We've found that the longer we're accountable, not only does it keep us safe from the downhill, justification-ridden road to relapse, but it also helps us to find true freedom in all aspects of our lives and increase our connection to others.
