Why Is It So Important To Keep BALANCE In Our Life.

We have been told that we need to “moderate”, and I laugh and answer them with the “we don't know how to. The thought that comes to my mind was the chapter about Balance in my 12 X 12 book. Sad but true, it is not easy to keep Balance in our lives.

We addicts knew nothing about Balance. I either moved at full speed ahead, or was passed out.

I hated myself, my life, and my “powerlessness” over people, places, and things. I blamed others for all my problems. I think that is why I hate to see others “scapegoating” others and “blaming” them for all their problems.

My problem is me, but your problem is you!

I learned in my recovery that it is ok to play, and that I do not have to be perfect.

My priorities were changed from “sex, drugs, and rock n roll” to “God/Jesus, Family, and Friends”.
