the brain
When you consider all the billions of cells within the human brain, with each one affected by an unknown number of transmitters, peptides, and other “messenger” substances; the amount of inforemation quickly escalates to a figure appraoching the number of particles in existence….To this extent, no matter how much we learn about the brain, we can never learn it all. There will always be something to astound us, to amaze us, to keep us humble, while at the same time stimulating us to greater efforts toward understanding the brain. The human brain is simply the most marvelous organ in the known universe.

We begin to understand what’s appropriate for us, and what we want our lives to be like. This is the beginning of becoming who we really are.
Today, we don’t have to be the people we once were, shaped by our addiction; recovery has allowed us to change.
There is no doubt that we have periods of darkness in our recovery. There is only one way we can make it through those troubling times: with faith.
There will be times, however, when we really feel like using. We want to run, and we feel lousy. We need to be reminded of where we came from and that it will be worse this time
When anxiety strikes, I will take specific steps to seek God’s continuing care and guidance
