Step Eleven

Step Eleven helps to create a solid foundation for a peaceful and fulfilled life and to develop a more positive way of thinking, which will better serve you moving forward. Tune in to hear what our hosts have to say about this step.

Knowing Your Whys

When you identify what you really want your recovery to be. This clarity helps you to work out your next moves a lot more easily. You can use your WHY statement to drive you forward each day and achieve what you really want from your life. Especially during periods of struggle or when the going gets tough, keeping your why front and center will provide you with the motivation you need to keep going when what you really may want is to give up.

Acceptance

Denial can have a strong pull, especially when you are addicted. You may make up excuses for your behavior or try to convince yourself (and others) that you don’t really have a problem. Acceptance is one of the most difficult hurdles to cross when it comes to addiction and recovery. When you understand that your addiction is a disease and that it changes how your brain works, that can help you reach the acceptance you need to start on the path to recovery.

Your addiction does not mean you are weak or a failure. Your acceptance of your addiction is also not an admission of failure. It is a milestone that will become one of many you’ll reach as you work your way through recovery. Tune in to find out what we have to say about this topic.
