R is for Replace
Replace old drinking buddies with new AA buddies. Replace your negative attitude with a new positive attitude. Replace your garbage with a balance of spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental stability. |

R is for R & R! I need to find time for rest and relaxation, to fill myself up, so I have the energy to do and give. I don't have very much to give if I am operating on fumes, and an empty soul is not very giving or forgiving.

R is for Relapse. Relapse was not an option for me. For me to use is to die. I would die much faster in today if I picked up a cigarette, than if I picked up a drink or a pill.
We can relapse mentally, emotionally, and spiritually before we physically pick up. I know that when I went to meetings, and then as my health issues came to light, I had to keep coming to the site to share with others, I was able to build the defense against that first one. As they say, "It is the engine that kills you, not the caboose." ![]()

R is for Realize
We Realized (admitted) that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable. That is the first step of recovery! |

R is for Reply. God does always answer prayer, it is up to me to listen for the answers. I was told that He/She says, "Yes! No! You got to be kidding!" Some times the answer is "Not right now!" and I have to remember it is His time, not mine.
