Recovery Thoughts

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot

change, the courage to change the

things I can, and wisdom to know

the difference.

Living one day at a time, enjoy-

ing one moment at a time; accept-

ing hardships as the pathway to

peace; taking as Jesus did this sin-

ful world as it is, not as I would

have it; trusting that You will

make all things right if I surrender

to Your Will; so that I may be rea-

sonably happy in this life and su-

premely happy with You forever

in the next.

Amen.

~ Reinhold Niebuhr

Adapted from an article by Cheryl Conner and Amy Morin

While the new year begins with resolutions that most have given up by the second week

into January, it is also a good opportunity to examine how individuals navigate chal-

lenges well and find the inner peace that we are promised. Amy Moring put together a list of common traits that emotional healthy people do well. Maybe this year instead of

making resolutions that will be shelved as quickly as they are thought of we can look at how making small changes in our thought process can improve our internal state of

mind.

Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Myself; learn

to take responsibility for my actions and out-

comes... understand that life is not fair - emerge from circumstances with gratitude for

the lessons learned.

Give Away My "Power"; understand that in

a difficult situation, I am in control (as I depend on God)

to have healthy actions and

emotions. My strength is in

God and in my ability to man-age the way I respond in any

situation.

Shy Away from Change; my

biggest “fear” should be to become complacent and stagnant. An environ-

ment of change and even uncertainty can ener-

gize and bring out my best.

Waste Energy on Things I Can’t Control; don’t complain (too much) about bad traffic,

lost luggage, or other people. Recognize these

are beyond my control.

Worry About Pleasing Others; strive to be kind and fair and to please others (where ap-

propriate), but be unafraid to speak up.

Fear Taking Calculated Risks; weigh the

risks and benefits and fully assess the poten-

tial downside and even the worst-case scenar-

io before taking action.

Dwell on the Past; There is strength in ac-

knowledging the past and especially in ac-

knowledging the things learned from past experiences

- avoid miring my mental en-

ergy in past disappointments

or in fantasies of the “glory days” gone by. Invest the ma-

jority of my energy in creating

an optimal present and future.

Make the Same Mistakes Over and Over; we all know the definition of

insanity, right? It’s when we take the same

actions again and again while hoping for a

different and better outcome than we’ve got-ten before. Instead, accept full responsibility

for past behavior and learn from mistakes.

Research shows that the ability to be self-

reflective in an accurate and productive way is one of the greatest strengths of spectacularly

successful executives and entrepreneurs.

don’t depend on

others to shore

up my happiness

and moods.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life

and have it abundantly.” John 10:10 (ESV)

“...unless something changes, the future that you can expect is more of the past. Sor-

ry or becoming committed does not make Jim Carrey a great golfer, or made Jack

Nicklaus funny. Recommitment does not make a person who is unsuited for a partic-

ular position suited for it all of a sudden. Promises by someone who has a history of

letting you down in a relationship mean nothing certain in terms of the future.”

Men’s Codependency

What does it mean to work my 12th

Step?

There are plenty of ways to give back.

Got something to say?

The CR Newsletter is looking for a few good

articles about your life in recovery. We are

looking for stories of success and/or failure

to encourage each other in our walk of re-

covery. Testimonies, poems, or any interest-

ing recovery information you have is need-

ed. Please submit your articles to

EarlBurg@yahoo.com or hand it to some-

one on the Leadership team on Monday

nights. Thanks!

Resent Other People’s Success; it takes

strength of character to feel genuine joy and

excitement for other people’s success. Don’t become jealous or resentful when others

succeed (take close notes on what the indi-

vidual did well). Work hard for your own

chances at success, without relying on

shortcuts.

Give Up After Failure; every failure is a

chance to improve. Be willing to fail again

and again, if necessary, as long as the learn-ing experience from every “failure” can

bring me closer the ultimate goal.

Fear Alone Time; enjoy and even treasure

time spent alone. Use downtime to reflect, to plan, and to be productive. Most im-

portantly, don’t depend on others to shore

up my happiness and moods. Be happy with

others, and be happy alone.

Feel the World Owes Them Something; enter the world prepared to work and suc-

ceed on my merits, at every stage of the

game.

Expect Immediate Results; Be “in it for

the long haul”. Know better than to expect

immediate results. Apply my energy and

time in measured doses and celebrate each milestone and increment of success on the

way. Have “staying power.” Understand

that genuine change take time.

Several years ago, when Matthew West invited people to share their stories to serve as inspi-

ration for an upcoming album, he had no idea it would be the start of an amazing journey

that would forever change his music, ministry and life. Armed with more than 10,000 stories

from fans all over the world, the floodgates of inspiration opened and West crafted a land-

mark album, The Story of Your Life. Suddenly people were given a voice and a chance for

their stories to be heard. It started a powerful wave that continues with even greater momen-

tum on West’s new album Into the Light.

This is one of my favorite

recovery tools I learned

this past year from my

sponsor.

I was having a particular-

ly hard time letting go of a

relationship. After many

times of coming back with a different exam-

ple of what was the same problem my spon-

sor sweetly pointed out I was working

through the same issue and that maybe God

might be giving me the opportunity to make

a different choice.

She shared the tool she had learned from

her sponsor at some point during her recov-

ery. She had asked me to journal

the situation line by line through

The Serenity Prayer.

God grant me the serenity to

accept the things I cannot

change; I wrote all the things

about this situation that I could

not change. This looked like my perception

of the other persons part or what I felt the

consequences of that person’s action was.

The courage to change the things I can; I

wrote about the things I had the ability to

influence in this situation or the things I

perceived to be my part.

This continued through the rest of the seren-

ity prayer until the end. At the conclusion of

this exercise I realized my sponsor was wise

to give me this tool. It ended up being a n

old hurt that I would have told you I had

worked through. I was humbling and frus-

trating to see I was working on another lay-

er of that onion.

If you have a recovery tool you would like to

share email Earl (EarlBurg@yahoo.com).

“On every level it has been the single most

fulfilling thing that I’ve had a chance to be a

part of in my career,” West says. “It’s just the

added element of emotion that I feel by hav-

ing a chance to be a part of this person’s story

and to share their story with an audience.

Something really special is taking place and

I’m along for the ride for as long as it needs to

go. As long as those stories come in, I think

I’m going to keep making these kinds of rec-

ords.”

Hello, my name is defeat

I know you recognize me

Just when you think you can win I’ll drag you right back down again

Oh, these are the voices. Oh, these are the lies

And I have believed them for the very last

I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, I have been set free "Amazing Grace" is the song I

sing

Hello, my name is child of the one true King

I am no longer defined By all the wreckage behind

The one who makes all things new

Has proven it’s true

Just take a look at my life

What love the Father has lavished upon us

that we should be called His children

I am a child of the one true King

source table, greet newcomers, reading steps/principles in big group weekly,

being a part of the CR band or do you have testimony you can share to encour-

age someone else? See anyone on the leadership team to get plugged in.

“A setback is simply a setup

~ Dr. Tony Evans

The Problem: We are

codependent because we

allow the behavior of an-

other person to effect our

behavior so that we be-

come consumed with that

person and their problems.

This obsession with the

issues and problems of

others becomes debilitating to us as we

exhaust inordinate and inappropriate

amounts of mental and emotional ener-

gy over them, leaving little, if any, en-

ergy for ourselves.

Often our childhood was so chaotic and

our environments were so out of con-

trol, we learned ways to escape to try to

find serenity. As we grew into adult-

hood, we worked hard at trying to con-

trol our external environment, believing

it was the key to our happiness and in-

ner peace. Our family of origin was

frequently dysfunctional. Sometimes

we even blamed ourselves for our

parent’s problems. If we were terrorized

by a volatile alcoholic parent, anger

became an unacceptable and unwel-

comed guest in our lives. Anger was to be

avoided at all costs. As a result, we

learned to appease; we learned to rescue.

We learned to be aware of others’ feelings

in order to protect ourselves and began to

lose touch with our own feelings. We

made ourselves responsible for the happi-

ness of others, and when they weren’t

happy, neither were we ...

“...unless something changes, the future that you can expect is more of the past. Sor-

ry or becoming committed does not make Jim Carrey a great golfer, or made Jack

Nicklaus funny. Recommitment does not make a person who is unsuited for a partic-

ular position suited for it all of a sudden. Promises by someone who has a history of

letting you down in a relationship mean nothing certain in terms of the future.”

~ Dr. Henry Cloud (Necessary Endings, pg. 99)
