Now remember, "Carry the message, not the MESS!" That's never said with love in their hearts, is it. It's instructive and judgy and claims dominion over what newcomers need/want to hear. Remember the 1988 Clean & Sober? It's a star-studded cast and one of our top-ten addiction and recovery movies of all times. Watch it again (there's a link); it's dated. Smashing payphone receivers on phone booth key pads - I know smash a what? on a what? But it's a story about chaotic addict in denial. Someone gets through to our anti-hero. Is it because he's such a "power of example." Fuck No! It's because he understand the mess. Let's meet people where they are, not regale about where we are. When they want to know about that, they'll ask.

But for now we look at the power of connection in APRIL's Blog. It's a message and a mess. HERE

 

Episode 56 of Rebellion Dogs Radio joins with AA's General Service Office to ask, "Is AA's literature relatable?"AA's General Service Conference.

Freethinkers Living Sober of Verde Valley AZ

EMOTIONAL RANGE: Skillfully navigating highs, lows and in-betweens... While recovery frees us from the emotional, physical, and mental hell that is active addiction, it doesn't grant us a pass on the emotional ups and downs of regular life. As addicts, we often lived in a state of nonstop emotional emergency, where every feeling, good or bad, led us back to our substance or behavior of choice. In recovery, learning to live "life on life's terms" means becoming aware of our whole emotional range and developing the skills to navigate the ever-shifting terrain of our own inner world. This talk will focus on how we can become more adept at handling both the internal experience and the external impact of our own highs, lows, and everything in between.
