The 12 Steps to Recovery

People who have embraced the twelve step to recovery have found that it not only provides them the means to stop drinking, using illegal substances or even helped them to look at their behaviors even if they never used drugs. The 12 Steps offers people a structural framework by which to live a productive and fulfilling life.

The 12 steps originated from Alcoholic Anonymous by the AA founders Bill Wilson and

Bob Smith they also used those same 12 steps for substance abuses , as an advocate for Parental substance abuse I learned that I may not be an recovering  addict from substance or alcohol . These 12 steps can be applied to every ones lives. 

12 steps are applicable for all aspects of our lives.

Many members of 12-step recovery programs2 have found that these steps were not merely a way to overcome addiction and unwarranted behaviors, but they became a guide toward a new way of life. Now who doesn’t want to live a new way of life. 

The Twelve Steps themselves are the essence of Alcoholics and substance abuse Anonymous. But now I am asking those who are not addicted to incorporate the twelve steps as well. They are the directions meant to provide people with a path to lasting sobriety and a substance-free lifestyle and also to living a better life style. I want us to also incorporate these 12 steps in our self-care lives some of may not be addicted to substances or alcohol, but we are surely addicted to putting others first before us. We have other addictions and that’s why others programs are incorporating these 12 steps in their facilities and programs.

By exploring the steps in depth and seeing how others have applied the principles in their lives, you can use them to gain insight into your own experiences, and to gain strength and hope for your own recovery.

I missed you all.

No matter what adjectives you use to describe drug addiction, its effects on family, friends and others are often devastating and heartbreaking to witness. The physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions of addiction give the addict a sort of tunnel vision, and they will spare no expense in keeping their substance abuse going–even if it means putting those they love the most on the back burner.

The tremendous impacts of substance abuse is especially profound in children of parents who are in the grips of drug and alcohol addiction. For these children, they can experience minor neglect up to full-blown physical, mental and even sexual abuse. Children obviously look to their parents as role models. For parents who are struggling with substance abuse, it can cause immense trauma and a child’s emotional and psychological development can be impact to a degree that can be beyond repair.

If you know a child whom parents are using alcohol or drugs or both talk to that child. That child has witnessed a lot and don’t want to be removed. As an advocate and a person who is bringing awareness I want you to know that you are not alone and I am here to hold that safe space. I come with life experiences and I will never judge you.

People we meet show us who they are, as we show them who we are. We see the red flags which could result into abusive behaviors and we believe in our heart of hearts that we can change them. I’ve said this over and over again you can’t change anyone people have to want to change. And If people don’t want to change it is, there right to remain the same. It’s up you to decide if this is something you want to be a part of. So once again I say you can’t Love the red flags out of a person. Sorry but not sorry 

While in those the early stages of a budding romance, we are all at our best. Sometimes the excitement and infatuation can blind you to everything else. It can blind you so much that you would think that you can love the red flags out of a person. The blinder can make red flags almost impossible to spot. But think about what you’ve learned from past relationships. You know more than you realize! Staying keen to these red flags now which can help you avoid hurt in the future.

Once Again, we have to talk about vicarious Trauma as we have experienced Traumatic events all over again. 

I feel sad and angry that is where I am mentally. Where are you mentally? 

Daunte Wright Murdered by a police officer. She mistaken her gun from her Taser. That’s the excuse this time.  This is some real modern-Day Lynching.

I cant take it no more as I am preparing this episode I just felt a another feeling that feeling is fear. I have a 16-year-old son who wants to live a free life and once again I have to call him because he is in North Carolina. I had to tell him to be viligent I have to tell him to be careful. Once again I have to tell him about the dangers of the very humans that is supposed to protect him. I have to tell him that he has to look out for them obey them  put his hands up at all times don’t  grab anything .Those whom I am speaking about is the POLICE . Yes, be careful son they will kill you. You’re a threat. You are a threat even if you don’t do anything wrong. The reason you are threat to them is because You are Black. You are 6 foot 4 . That’s why you are a threat. Whoosa GOD I am scared please protect my child Please protect our children, please protect our melonated  people. 

I am now saying that I am not calling the police no more even when a crime is being commited  because they may kill the person, I am now saying I going to call the fire department in the event of an emergency. We never heard of the fire men to harm anyone. This is sad we should never be scared to call the police  because they were hired to protect and serve not kill melonated people.

I know so many are traumatized and retraumatized because of the events happening around the world. We have lost so many by the hands of the police just to name a few Tamir Rice, Amud  Aubrey  George Floyd Brianna Taylor, Eric Gardner Sandra Bland Sean bell  . OMG but this one reminds of Philando Castile . that’s where that vicarious trauma come in. We can think of one old incident and relate it to a current incident and that current incidents Dante Wright.

This week’s episode is dedicated to the healing of our people. This episode is dedicated to all those whom lost their lives at the hands of the police. This Episode is dedicated to Daunte and the entire wright family and Adam Toledo family as he was the 13 year old shot in Chicago 13 omg what is this world coming to.  

We all experience traumatic events in our lives from time to time. Trauma has no boundaries as it affects us all regardless of age, race, or gender. Trauma impacts not only an individual’s physical health, but also takes a toll on a person’s mental health too. Because not all traumatic experiences are the same, there are different treatment strategies that can be used to treat individuals.

It’s important to know the difference between acute trauma, chronic trauma complex trauma. 

This week I want us to dive into to the different types of trauma. 

I want us to learn exactly why type of trauma we endured during our traumatic event. I can tell you at this time we are experiencing vicarious trauma when police continue to kill children unjustifiably it falls under Complex Trauma

Life can be complicated but if you follow and apply these seven rules of life, Life can be easier. The seven rules of life can remind you where to focus and invest your energy, so you can enjoy life more. 

I can’t say following the 7 rules of life won’t be challenging to follow, but it will be beneficial. All you have to do is Taylor the rules to your life. These simple Rules of advice can be applied to every circumstance in your life. Letting go of burdensome ideas and unnecessary responsibilities is the first step toward your health and freedom. Focusing on overcoming offenses and being patient with yourself are vital forms of self-care.

I tend to use inspirational words around me on a regular basis to boost myself up, motivated myself or I even remind myself of the things that are true. I am a true believer that words matter, and they have a huge impact on us. Although I don’t know who wrote the seven rules of Life I find that every time I read them again and again, one rule hits my heart at a certain time and it reminds me of what I need or what I should let go because it's none of my business.
