Truck ride is getting a bit bumpy.

Yesterday I fell again. (Third day in a row). I know and feel that I lost the mindset which I worked on before Succos during Succos. So what happened? I think that the change in schedule knocked me off balance, and more importantly for some reason I forgot that I have to take my daily pill. Maybe because I felt good with myself and that misled me or maybe with the pressures of Erev Yom Tov I just “forgot” that I must take my pill. Whatever the reason the fact was that I got DISTRACTED from focusing on recovery and the price of that has been “falls”.

Today I remembered one of the most important lessons which I learnt from Bardichev.

When I read that the first time I realized that at least for me the cause of acting out is not necessarily what has been termed here as RID. I also react to success and feeling good by acting out and for that reason I must always remember to take my pill even during the "good"times.

Before Yom Kippur I wrote that as an addict I realized that even on Yom Kippur I will fall if I do not take my pill. I never realized how close that was to the truth.

So here goes.

RECOVERY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE

THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IS GETTING THROUGH TODAY

JUST KEEP ON TRUCKING (EVEN IF IT IS BUMPY)

Day one

Have another day one

Keep it up

THAT'S RIGHT!

AND THANKS.

keep it up.
so far it's just you and me.
I saw one of your posts that was suggesting for the chevra to come join us here.
That would be great.

keep on trucking!

Okay soldier, what you said is good.

Also, I reread the attitude at the top.

It seems that there's this big door we have to go through.
The door has a sign.  It says I ADMIT I HAVE A PROBLEM.

Now for some people this door is locked and they can't exactly get through the door... they can't admit they have a problem....

That's where attitude #4 comes to the rescue.  It is the key that will unlock the door for these individuals.

The key hangs from a keychain.  The keychain reads  I HIT ROCK BOTTOM.

The individual's life was so out of control that he finally hit rock bottom.
At that point, Guard came and handed him this key which allowed him to enter through the door.

Then along came Dov.  Dov said, "Hey! Why not give a guy the key BEFORE his life spins out of control?"

At which point Yosef Hatzadik said, "But what will the keychain say if he didn't hit rock bottom?"

Someone holding an ice cream cone was standing nearby.  You could tell he was deep in thought.  Suddenly, he sprang to his feet....    GEVALLLTTTTT!!!  The keychain should say KEEP ON TRUCKING!!!

Guard, Dov, and Yosef Hatzadik all turned to look at Bardichev....

Guard liked the idea, but since his hat was covering his ears, what he actually heard was "The keychain should say 'I HIT BOTTOM WHILE STILL ON TOP.'"
