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.
