BENIFITS:



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.
