#keepcomingbackitworksifyouworkit

blessed to have experienced this weekend GOD grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things that i can, and the wisdom to know the difference, just for today #keepcomingbackitworksifyouworkit (at Hungry Mother State Park)

Today at work, I attended my first client Accountability Group. Each week, these women are given the great task of publicly and honestly admitting what they have done wrong for the past week. Then, together as a group, they get to help one another come up with 4 different ways of handling their wrongs. The group votes on which option they think is the most helpful. My coworker who facilitates the group said, "I'm not here to solve your problems for you. I only get one vote just like everyone else." The group was super powerful for me. I only get one vote. I only want one vote. Accountability matters. #accountability #collaborativeproblemsolving #recovery #keepcomingbackitworksifyouworkit

I decided that I'm being hypocritical by working in a recovery center while ignoring my own recovery. For the second time this week, I am going to a red book meeting tomorrow. Adult Children Anonymous in conjunction with Al-Anon has done wonders for me. What a gift to find people who wholeheartedly and unapologetically accept my struggles because they get it on a real level. #aca #adultchildrenofalcoholics #recoveryisworthit #recoveryispossible #keepcomingbackitworksifyouworkit #12steps
