BENEFITS:


We can wake up in the morning, read for a
few minutes in our meditation book, and
feel lifted. We can work a Step and often
notice an immediate difference in the way
we feel and function. We can go to a
meeting and feel refreshed, talk to a friend
and feel comforted, or practice a new
recovery behavior, such as dealing with our
feelings or doing something good for
ourselves, and feel relieved.

There are other benefits from recovery,
though, that we don't see immediately on a
daily or even a monthly basis. These are
larger gains we make in our life.

Over the years, we can see tremendous
rewards. We can watch ourselves grow
strong in faith.

We can watch the quality of our
relationships improve with family, friends,
and spouses. We find ourselves growing
steadily and gradually in our capacity to be
intimate and close, to give and receive.

We can watch ourselves grow in our careers.
In our ability to be creative, powerful,
productive people, using our gifts and
talents in a way that feels good and
benefits others.

The long-term progress is steady, but
sometimes slow, happening in increments
and often with much forward and
backward movement. Enough days at a time
of practicing recovery behaviors and piling
up short-term gains leads to long-term
rewards.
