Building Recovery – Your Foundation

by | Jan 13, 2015

 

In this new course I want to introduce the metaphor of a building which can help us simplify our view and visualise our task.

This first talk introduces the concept and describes the course which is divided into three parts, the foundation, the first floor and the second floor.

Download this foundation plan to try out the concept in your own recovery.

Improve your relationship with things

You may not have thought about things this way but you could be said to have a relationship with everything, not just people! If you are addicted to cocaine, think about your relationship with it as something that started, developed, and can change. 

It is useful to think of inanimate relationships as appropriate or inappropriate. When you keep asking your neighbour for things, it might be okay for a while, but if you keep doing it they will eventually get tired of it. If you keep asking alcohol or drugs to help you avoid your responsibilities and needs, this is the basis of an inappropriate relationship and will not end well.
