Today we talk about how we use hope and belief in our recovery AND in everyday life! Hope and belief can carry us through all of life’s ups and downs--but how do we cultivate hope and belief? How do we practice it?
“Life is what you make it!” But what does that mean really and how does it pertain to hope and belief?
“Belief that you might be able to hope” - Lynn’s experience in early recovery was that belief came before hope--but that was a start!
Vikki has first thought wrong about feelings...
Belief - Trust, faith and confidence in someone/something.
Hope- Feeling of optimism or a desire that something will happen.

FTW: Lynn and her alternate go to two separate GSR meetings.
Definition: Humility: Freedom from pride or arrogance
Humility is about remaining teachable.
We discussed how we can lean into pride too much, humility in sobriety and day to day life and work.
The struggle of the ego which is pride of an accomplishment vs. doing good work.
Self-deprecating is the opposite of arrogance but the same in thinking of yourself all the time!
Humility = Gratitude
Being grateful takes away from coveting.
“True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.”
C.S. Lewis

This week's episode is about the principal that coincides with the 5th step - Integrity and Truth. We discuss how this principal guides our lives.
First Thought Wrong: Bre shares how she had a mini moment when there was something she showed up for and the person she was supposed to meet didn't come. How she got to the point where she realized she was right where she was supposed to be!
We discuss the way being honest and in our integrity is a priority and how it was't always that way prior to recovery.
We share a great poem The Cookie Thief by Virginia Cox. Link: https://chatsworthconsulting.com/ChatsworthConsultingGroup_The_Cookie_Thief.pdf

Our topic is perseverance and vigilance in recovery. We explain the principles of our 12 step program in recovery - internal decision or external action to get & stay sober. This episode is really how we maintain sobriety on a day to day basis and what we do when we face setbacks. Also, how do we keep our "minds sober" so that we don't backslide. Keep moving forward in recovery no matter what!

FTW: Lynn about taking things personally and letting it go.
Forgiveness definition: Letting go of past grudges or lingering resentments against a person or situation.
To let go I have to take the action--clean my side of the street. What am I responsible for? Sometimes the only thing I’m responsible for is my reaction to someone else.
