Having healthy boundaries is essential to being a person in recovery who enjoys healthy relationships. If you struggle with the concept of boundaries, you are not alone. When most people enter recovery, they tend to lack a solid understanding of what boundaries are and why they are valuable.

No matter what your personal situation may be; it is important to understand that identifying, developing, establishing, and protecting your boundaries is vital to your recovery.

Tonight, we talk about Setting Boundaries.

To some extent, everyone deals with negative thoughts during early sobriety. However, if you allow yourself to believe your negative thoughts are automatically true, they can become a serious threat to your recovery.

These whispered lies encourage a victim mentality, promote a sense of hopelessness, and keep you from fulfilling your potential. They discourage the growth mindset which is a crucial part of overcoming the challenges faced when you are new.

Tonight, we talk about Substituting Truth Phrases for Whispered Lies.

The Golden Key is a short essay, just 976 words.  The essay is considered a classic of the American New Thought movement.  It was written in 1931 by Emmet Fox who was Irish. The Golden Key is an example of the practical use of the 180 principle. The principle is: Turn your back on the world and its problems and realize that your higher power is real and available for you. Fox has had a major influence on Alcoholics Anonymous. 

Tonight, we talk about The Golden Key.

When taking the journey toward recovery and sobriety, it's important to be kind and patient with yourself. Not only does this help you to focus on your goals rather than your past mistakes, but it also helps you to build confidence in yourself and your choices in the future.

For many people who struggle with addiction, being overly critical of themselves is common. Although it is important to acknowledge your faults to help you to establish and accomplish your goals, it is also important to be kind to yourself to move forward.

Contrary to popular belief, being kind to yourself isn’t a selfish act. By understanding your disease and acknowledging your desire to do better for yourself, you are allowing yourself the opportunity to learn from your mistakes.

Tonight, we talk about Being Kind to Ourselves.

Neuroscientists have found that those who dedicate themselves to more quiet time develop a much greater capacity for empathy and deep thought. This is because these skills require a slower variety of thought processes in order to develop. Therefore, by focusing on making time to be alone with your thoughts you can become a better parent, sibling, partner, and friend!

This type of exercise is especially relevant to those in recovery. Creating temporary physical and mental space away from your immediate life allows for reflection on the past, present, and future. Being a bit removed from the situation makes this a good time to assess who you truly are as a person and how you have been acting and makes it easier to see what might need to change in your life.

Tonight, we talk about Quiet Time.

The holidays are often characterized as a season of togetherness with family and loved ones, but for many, navigating through this time of year while sober is uncharted territory.

There is so much support out there for people committed to their sobriety, especially during the holidays. However, the added stressors of gifts, events, parties, and relatives can intensify urges and vaporize a resolve in the afternoon that was solid in the morning.

We, at Recovered, understand firsthand the potential challenges and we want to offer our experience, strength, and hope for surviving the holidays.

Tonight, we talk about our Enjoying the Holidays Sober

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.

This prayer asks positive power to help you peacefully accept those things you can’t change, and to have the courage to change what you can. In my experience, this often means changing my own whispered lies, words, and actions. If you’re confused about which things you can change and which ones you can’t, pause and ask for the wisdom to know which of the two choices is best for your situation.

Tonight, we talk about the Serenity Prayer.

When people are grateful for what they have, they will experience a great deal of happiness. When the individual constantly complains, it will be impossible for them to find peace of mind.

Gratitude is not about what people have or do not have. There are billionaires who still do not feel satisfied and poor people who feel they have everything they need.

Tonight, we talk about Gratitude.
