It’s called the negativity bias and as a survival mechanism it makes sense.It’s nice to have a choice Reflect deeply on this truthIt’s not as if any of us wants to live like this; it’s something we collectively force one another to do.I’d like to share a little bit about the background of Lois Wilson who founded Al-Anon and Alcoholics AnonymousI’m a defeated one.I’m going away to SpainI’m not a recovered alcoholicI’m not a retired alcoholicI’ve tried time and time againJUL 14 When a gambler behaves mindlessly and irresponsiblyJack LemmonJames LovelockJekyll and Hyde had it far too easy.Jeremy HuntJesus ChristJesus said that He would return as ComforterJewJewish RootsJim BroadbentJoe and Charlie Big Book StudyJohn 20:6John C.

You can easily see why.Many only stumble into an awareness of the Source of Creation;Many people do not know that Bill and Dr. Bob met because they were both members of a spiritual program that was popular at that timeMany people do not know that the founders of the program use the Big Book to describe the different kinds of people in the program.Many people fear success. They fear what they will lose by succeeding.Many people pay for a therapist to listen to them because they cannot tell their friends about their experiences.Many seekers block their own natural intuition because they are afraid.Many who enter the circle of recovery from addiction and/or alcoholism struggle with the spiritual aspects of the 12-step program.MaranathaMaranatha MantraMaranatha Mantra:Maranatha MeditationMarijuana has gotten strongerMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyMassive Membership growth the only healthy recovery modelMastery of lifeMatrixMay GodMay God bless and may smiles come in waves your wayMay I become your SponseeMay the last quarter of 2011 be your BEST 3 months EVERMayor Guiliani went after the small offendersMe d i t at ion a n d Twe l v e St e psMedical SpecialtiesMedical materialism finished up Saint Paul by calling his vision on the road to DamascusMeditation DayMeditation Mind always acts towards other in a friendly manner.Meditation can be an important toolMeditation can protect a person from the debilitating effects of some emotional eventsMeditation doesn’t require making big life changes.Meditation first can calm stressMeditation is a word that has come to be used loosely and inaccurately in the modern world.Meditation is generally defined as the act of extended thought or contemplation/reflectionMeditation is the only way to start the day.Meditation is the process of understanding your own mind.Meditation was presented as the life itself.Meditative PosesMeeting Cameron THE STEPS IN FOUR HOURSMelloMembers of AA do not consider themselves cured.Memorize this sentence: Stormy emotions cannot see danger.Men are born soft and suppleMental RelapseMental disorderMental distressMental illness and alcoholism or drug abuse interact in a complex danceMental meteorites will make a wonderful impactMental pain occurs when personal fantasy collides with spiritual factMessiahMessianic JudaismMetamorphosisMetamorphosis is happening with some people todayMethods To Identify Your EmotionsMetta SuttaMettāMichael JeffreysMiddlesbrough Muckers are a cult-group of fundamentalists.Miguel RuizMilky WayMind is not constantMind-altering substances are not the only things over which I am powerless.Mind-mapping is a survival skill that allows us to predict—and manipulate—other people’s behavior by understanding their thoughtsMind.You still believe that a change in circumstances will make you happy.Mindfulness Meditation and CravingsMindfulness Meditation and Self UnderstandingMindfulness Techniques Show Health BenefitsMindfulness and the 12 Steps provides those in recovery with a new resource and fresh perspective for developing their own spiritual path.Mindfulness meditation reduces loneliness in older adultsMindfulness meditation training in awareness of present moment experienceMiracles do happenMissing Piece: The Spiritual MaladyModern Indo-European languages - which include English - originated in Turkey about 9Money can be a very effective mood manager.Money spent on nicotine patches 'goes up in smoke'MoodMood disorderMood disorders and alcohol dependence may interact with a genetic (relative) deficiency in 5-HT reuptakMoral inventory shapes our understanding of ourselvesMore people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't so busy denying themMost Controversial Addiction TreatmentsMost of our therapies are guided by a personality theory.Most of us already know how to hurt ourselvesMost of us in recovery end up being conformistsMost people like to live in illusions.Mother NatureMother TeresaMove every thought into a kindness enclosure.Movies about destructive addiction.Munchausen by InternetMurder in the Rooms of AAMuscleMuslimMustard seedMy First 40 YearsMy biggest promise to you is that your Truth will deliver a life greater than you have imagined.

I think that is the connection to spirituality.The joy of healthy sharingThe joy of life for my Spanish RainbowThe key lessons learned here is that creation/Creation is not done alone.The key to a lifetime of recovery.The key to the roomsThe key to unravelling addiction is understanding deficit.The labelThe last minute change in the Printer's Manuscript eliminated God from the Steps.The latest results from the Large Hadron Collider serve as a reality check for expectations that radical scientific discoveries are just around the cornerThe lonely Skeleton of TruthThe major problem found to complicate recovery from addiction was the presence of perceptual distortionsThe man who sponsored Bill WilsonThe media sets the standard of what is desirable to people. We then take inventory of our life and place the measurement.The medical doctors who were members of Alcoholics Anonymous even dissuaded Bill Wilson from introducing nutritive concepts once he discovered them.The message of Christ was about transformation and empowering ourselves to be divineThe message that I need to carryThe message which can interest and hold these alcoholic people must have depth and weight.The middle of the road is a great place to get run overThe mind desires thisThe mind is essentially a survival machineThe mind is the organ of socialising – the most important of all human organs.The mind that created the problem we face is not the mind that is going to solve our problem If it couldThe mind that is not baffledThe more they travel into the lightThe more you trust your intuitionThe most common reasons for non-assertive behavior includeThe most curious social convention of the great age in which we live is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected.The most difficult problem for relationship dependent people to do is to extricate themselves from toxic relationships.The most important video on the web todayThe most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.The most natural state of an alcoholic is irritableThe most reliable signThe most religious experience I had ever had was eating a grapefruit and realizing how beautiful the God of the grapefruit and the taste buds are!The most severe form of niacin (also known as B3) deficiencyThe most successful people in life recogniseThe mystery of ChristmasThe narcissist renounces reality.The narcissist's guarded detachment is a sad reaction to his unfortunate formative years.The nature of the rain is the same and yet it produces thorns in the marsh and flowers in the gardenThe need for imaginationThe neurochemistry of love can become a drug as difficult to give up as alcohol or cocaine.The next time you find life getting a bit too overwhelmingThe notion that the roots of alcoholism are in body chemistry is not easy to accept.The number of reasons for why the individual is engaging in attention seeking behaviorThe one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing that I won’t touch againThe only appropriate response to temptation is to stop everything and just take a minute to be doomed.The only emotional need of the narcissist is to be the subject of attentionThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinkingThe only right and legitimate way to such an experienceThe only way to learn forgiveness is to be betrayed.The only way to overcome evil is to let it run itself to a standstillThe opportunity for being miserable just awaits us like a virus in the cesspool life's imperfections.The other day a man asked me what I thought was the best time of life.The over-40s now make up 31% of all adults in treatment.The pamphlet that Bill had published on niacin therapy was a collection of articles by several doctorsThe parable of the good Samaritan is an entrancing one for psychologists interested in religion.The paradox.The parts of my body that I hate are my best teachers of Love.The past is finished.The past is the prison. The present is the key to freedom.The person who becomes addicted to alcohol or drugs is unconsciously trying to restore balance to the neurotransmitters in their brain.The person who is dealing with grandiosity will have an unrealistically high opinion of themselves.The physical (nutritional) component of alcoholismThe pit in the road on the journey.The point of recovery power is definitely in the presentThe power of the present moment is so immenseThe practice of ten stages master shift holds within its wide embrace the personal renewals that come with an awakeningThe practices of the Oxford Group wereThe present moment is filled with joy and happiness.

Problems are the cutting edge between failure and success.The promise of God is that you are His son.The promise of step twelveThe promises associated with completing all twelve steps:The public speakerThe purpose of lifeThe purpose of solution based recovery is to create a safe contextThe quality of your recovery is proportional to the quality of your surrenderThe quality of your recovery is proportional to the quality of your surrender.The quickest route to deliver a drug to the brain is through smoking it andThe real dirty little secret of religiosity in America is that there are so many people for whom spiritual interestThe realisation of the being in the wilderness is what drove much of our addiction.The realisation that you have been fooled beyond belief can cause a great deal of inner turmoil to ariseThe reason Bill W. and Dr. Bob wrote the Big Book in the first place was because they were experiencing a 78-93% success rate over the first 4 years of AA's existence.The reason behind why I describe myself as an alcoholicThe results strongly suggest that the mechanism of depression after alcohol drinking may be related to serotonin.The revelation of MBro Dayhab as a new healthy concept in the field of addiction recovery.The road is long and difficult.The root cause of the low self esteem isn't so much what was said or done to us but how we interpreted it.The roots of relationship dependency lie in the family of origin.The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.The safety of over-the-counter niacin.The second major advance for the treatment of alcoholismThe second person we should "forgive"The secret of health for both mind and bodyThe secret of life is to “die before you die” — and find that there is no death.The serenity prayerThe serenity prayer reminds the individual of the importance of acceptance.The shortest sentence in the Big Book isThe slogan “Let go and let God” captures what is important.The speed of the car and the dullness of the roadThe spirit of the dream warrior is the key to success in life.The spiritual narcissist. These are those who ooze with false pietyThe spiritual part of the AA program is like the wet part of the ocean.The spiritual warrior perceives the upward wayThe spirituality of imperfection begins with the recognition that trying to be perfect is the most tragic human mistake.The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind~Wayne DyerThe statistics on alcoholism are mind blowing. Alcoholism is a serious problem in today’s society.The statistics on sanityThe storms of my life are sent as compassionate acts of The Divine.The story of a chronic relapsing alcoholic addict who fell into a hole and how he found his way out of a seemingly hopeless situationThe story of the 5 M’sThe straighter I amThe strength to be all that we can be is within us.The stress of loving an addict/alcoholic can be debilitatingThe study of DNA provides the strongest possible proof of our relatedness to all other living things.The success and expansion of the 12 Step method of recovery facilitated the spread of a revolutionary idea which has traditionallyThe success rate of today's watered-downThe sufferer from addiction today has a communication problemThe suffering codependents in AA are terrified that if they don't follow a rigid formulaThe sun will not harm you by dayThe symptoms of PTSD can be difficult to cope withThe three-letter wordThe traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous contain a strong commitment to non-professionalism and individual autonomy.The true task of spiritual life is not found in faraway places or unusual states of consciousness.The truth is that alcoholics do have unusually troublesome sex problems.The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortableThe truth which has made us free will in the end make us glad also.The twelve steps exist primarily and profoundly because addiction isThe twelve-step epiphany:The type of problems that are likely to develop between a sponsor and a sponsee include:The ultimate aim of the 12 step program is for the individual to experience a spiritual awakening.The underlying cause of alcohol addiction is an imbalance of brain chemistry and it is correctable.The underlying spiritual corruption behind active alcoholism thrusts relationships into a strangeThe unnamed woman....The vast majority of recreational drugs stimulate the one common denominator in our central nervous systemThe via negativaThe vitamin B3 therapyThe way people treat you is their karmaThe whole intends to do something through you.The whole point is to enter the present moment and practice bare attentionThe whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe; the theist believes a 'who' created the universeThe word GodThe word intuition comes from the Latin intuirThe work of deep self acceptanceThe work of the spiritual dream warrior never really endsThe world of parents/caregivers struggling with their own dissociations that lead to your addictionsThe worst form of isolation and the deepest source of loneliness comes from being cut off from our child within.The writer Peter McWilliams described guilt: Guilt is anger directed at ourselvesThe ‘me’ we think we areThe “Twelve Steps” is not a doctrine. Although there are many who have transformed it into canon.The “fix” may be an elaborate fantasy life not unlike the story line of a romance novelTheir ideals must be grounded in a power greater than themselvesThen you will understand what freedom isTheologyTheravadaThere are many suffering codependents in AA who are not open minded enoughThere are many ways how to calm yourself downThere are only two basic emotions that we all experienceThere are open meetings where anyone can experience an AA meeting.There are steps that people can take to increase the likelihood of achieving dreams in recovery:There are times when Love takes to the streets in protest.There are times when the “poor me” mood is upon usThere are two steps toward seeing thru tricky people.There is NO DIRECT PRESSURE to learn during the Stages (no testsThere is a GodThere is a SolutionThere is a direct linkage among self-examinationThere is a major difference between trying to prove your recovery and simply sharing your recovery.There is a solution based recoveryThere is a spiritual axiomThere is a tendency as soon as someone relapses to blame them as being weak or it's a moral failing or they just didn't try hard enough.There is always be a next step it does not stop at Twelve.There is always room for You here.There is an old beliefThere is clearly an intelligence at work that is far greater than the mindThere is dimly hidden inside of youThere is meaning in every journey that is unknown to the travelerThere is meaning in every journey that is unknown to the traveler.There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.There is no black and white definition of an alcoholic.There is no credit in heavenThere is no distance on this earth as far awayThere is no greater disaster in the spiritual life than to be immersed in unrealityThere is no one to 'blame' for our errorsThere is no reason why the spiritual journey cannot be lived joyfully and abundantly.There is no single geneThere is no use in trying to be honest with an emotional manipulator.There is nothing to be learned by apportioning blame.There is nothing you cannot beThere is one reason above all others why people dont get recoveryThere is something beautiful about the essence of Step 12 in recoveryThere is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present momentThere is this notion that we feel we have to prove our love to other people.There was a woman in a therapy group I was conducting once.There was no suggestionThere's nothing to be disappointed aboutTherefore I have decided to change my choices. Surround myself with the one positive person I know in my life.Theres twenty people inside the meeting that think they are sane and thats going to kill them.There’s a good chance you’re a human chimeraThere’s a joke about a team of scientists whoThese exercises can help you work the 11th Step.These extraordinary images reveal what happens when electrical surges pass through a metal board with a simple plant on top.These fears are the termites that ceaselessly devour the foundations of whatever sort of life we try to build. ~ Twelve Steps and Twelve TraditionsThese rare few push forward the evolution of recovery consciousness.These types of groups eventually fail because newcomers see the ridgidity and infighting and they don't return.They say the difference between an addict and an alcoholicThey say you need Mohammad or Jesus or Buddha or someone holy to connect to GodThey told me early onThey tried to make me go to rehabThey're all way of dodging vulnerabilityThiamineThink about something you’d really like to be doingThink about the 3rd step as a contract we sign with a Power Greater than you.Think of life as a school for your soulThink of meditation as a mental exercise.Think of someone whose behaviour annoys or bothers you.Thinking and consciousness are not synonymous.Thirteenth stepping refers to a situation where an experienced AA member begins a sexual relationship with a newcomer.Thirty-six hours rolling in painThis attitude of readiness to let God reach into our lives and uncover and remove the things that make us spiritually and emotionally sickThis book is dedicated to the Truth and the unfolding recovery from addictions.This inability to think created the possibility for many ordinary men to commit evil deeds on a gigantic scaleThis is a better way to live 12 STEP PRAYERS.This is a one-shot affair. If we failThis is a partial list of universal spiritual principles which have been taught repeatedly by many of the world’s greatest spiritual teachers throughout historyThis is a prayer from a 1940's AA Pamphlet.

Your uniqueness enhances all of life.We are not humans having a spiritual experience; we are spirits having a human experience.We are not one person.We are not punished for our sinsWe are not really human beings who are striving to have a spiritual experience; ratherWe are shockedWe are spinning our own fatesWe are spiritual beings having a human experience. And this is true.We become neighbors when we are willing to cross the road for one another.We become willing to break free of considering ourself in the victim role.We begin to experience how cultivating a Loving-Kindful way of life can radically transform the way we study the ten stages and enjoy day-to-day livingWe believe that the Founders of the 12 Step program have an entirely different perspective.We believe that the brain merely affects consciousnessWe believe that the very essence of trauma is powerlessness.We belong to our child hidden within. We must remember if we are to become real and trueWe can become empowered in the 12 step program.We can deliberately choose to relaxWe can learn most of these life lessons from any creative practiceWe can only speak of addictions.We can't depend on people to make us happy.We cannot wait for the world to turnWe do not need fixing. We are not broken.We don’t deny the negativeWe don’t really want to grow upWe exited the warm nurturing cocoon of our incubator into a coldWe expand our possibility and step out of our comfort zones.We finally admit that we have a true self our child within that can heal and regain control over our livesWe find charismatic spiritual teachers struggling with a narcissistic personality which they often do not understand.We found the Great Reality deep down within us. In the last analysis it is only there that He may be found. Pg. 55We have a remarkable capacity to get in our own way. To tie ourselves up into knotsWe have been silent witnesses of evil deedsWe have never called alcoholism a disease becauseWe have not yet made shoes that fit like sand.We have put together among ourselves a rigidly simple account of life in the worldWe heal ourselves with Your remembranceWe hold these truths to be self evident:We know perfectly well how to be spiritual. It's being human that we have trouble withWe know that the Kingdom of God is his Spirit in our heartsWe learned that we had to fully concede to our innermost selves that we were changed by the chemical inbalances in our mind and body from the excessive usage use of alcohol and drugs.We learned the principle of honesty.We let go of self-will. This means we no longer try to force outcomes by bullying and manipulating other peopleWe let our behaviour get out of the way and surrender control. Then recovery can work.We live immersed in a world of constant doing.We live in a society that glamorises perfection.We live in a world that needs more soulWe long to open our mind and advance the new ideas of Intulexia and the child within.We make a living by what we getWe make sense of situations with the developmental equipment we have at any given age.We may not have found God particle after allWe meditate and contemplateWe must allow God to teach us how to meditateWe must always start meditation from where we areWe must wake upWe need to be able to liberate our adult self from the control of the child within.We need to develop the habit of looking at whatever happens through a positive mindsetWe pay a heavy price for our fear of failure.We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinaryWe receive the gift of Recovery when we work the Steps. We receive the Gift of Unity when we cling together in love and work together to keep our Fellowship alive.We say things we think will make the program look good instead of being honest about our recent mistakes and how God carried us through.We seek an ever deepening connection to our own personal truthWe talk to God—that is prayer; God talks to us—that is inspirationWe tend to accept that people in authority must be right.We think of intuition as a magical phenomenonWe were created perfect | The Ten StagesWe were having trouble with personal relationshipsWe who have heard this profound message of the ten stages are shockedWe will become matureWe will never be completely free of denial.We'll increasingly be defined by what we say no to.We're frantic all the time.

There’s a bigger vision and purpose inside you that our small brain or Ego can imagine. The Universe has bigger and better plans for us. It’s our job to be of service and not get in our own way. We can only receive what we believe. When we trust us we open ourself up to greater possibilities outside of our control or imagination. So what’s it to be?

You see, moments like this are a part of something greater unfolding for you that you can not yet see.<br /><br />When there is a crisis, there is fear and also opportunity. <br /><br />The fear is that you can no longer hold on to what is comfortable, and you feel threatened or scared, but the opportunity... is growth. <br /><br />When we are faced with this kind of a situation, the wise choice is growth by kindfulness,&nbsp;&nbsp;asking ourselves the question, what is my perfect Child Within trying to show us?<br /><br />When we embrace change and crisis with an open curious mind, we take our power and authority back from the fear of imminent death or destruction and start to see what's really going on in our lives<br /><br />Our Life is rearranging itself for our benefit. <br /><br />The gap, the space that is in between where we are and where we want to go can seem a scary place.<br /><br />So, when we are in that gap, our best bet is to focus on what we can control, focus on the moment and focus on how we are supported by Kindfulness.<br /><br />We see, we are happily supported. Even when we do not feel like it. Right now, at this moment, all our needs are met by a simple relationship with our child within. <br /><br />Can we feel that? Can you see that? It may not look like it, but what if change was happening as a precursor to our greatest realisation coming true?<br /><br />Would it be worth facing that with simple faith?</span><div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;"> <br /></div> http://www.dreamwarriorrecovery.com/2019/02/we-are-in-transition-from-where-we-are.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922196140932006510.post-8574584656544603069Sat, 29 Dec 2018 22:23:00 +00002018-12-29T22:23:38.981+00:00Learn how by doing nothing but stay in the present can help you to stop knee-jerk reactions<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RfBGzG-xx8o/XCfz0IZKO5I/AAAAAAAAgbc/DXxF9SHhWNQlOQ4sp3pF-uV67XK7T_nBACLcBGAs/s1600/Meditations%2Bsuffering%2Blightening%2Bup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="640" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RfBGzG-xx8o/XCfz0IZKO5I/AAAAAAAAgbc/DXxF9SHhWNQlOQ4sp3pF-uV67XK7T_nBACLcBGAs/s200/Meditations%2Bsuffering%2Blightening%2Bup.jpg" width="133" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Learn how by doing nothing but stay in the present can help you to stop knee-jerk reactions to what life throws at you.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">leave our thoughts and feelings as they are and observe them without attempting to analyse, judge, interpret, or change them.</span>http://www.dreamwarriorrecovery.com/2018/12/learn-how-by-doing-nothing-but-stay-in.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Fraser Trevor)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922196140932006510.post-6808593462999488216Thu, 27 Dec 2018 08:48:00 +00002018-12-27T08:48:17.087+00:00Move every thought into a kindness enclosure.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oa05Lp4M4C0/XCSRlpRODPI/AAAAAAAAgXA/tm8kMEzl7QAb8MWxidqioSEfkDbsAJmSQCLcBGAs/s1600/Difficult%2BRoads22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="679" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oa05Lp4M4C0/XCSRlpRODPI/AAAAAAAAgXA/tm8kMEzl7QAb8MWxidqioSEfkDbsAJmSQCLcBGAs/s320/Difficult%2BRoads22.jpg" width="226" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /><br />Arrive here now.<br /><br />Collect our attention.<br /><br />Slow the mind doing one thing at a time.<br /><br /><br />Move every thought&nbsp;into a kindness enclosure.<br /><br />our purpose is to awaken and to remain awake.<br /><br />Let present-moment awareness be our practice.<br /><br />This moment is the only reality; all else is abstraction, a mentally constructed aberration.<br /><br />Just look and listen. No more is needed. Being inwardly still, looking and listening activates our non-conceptual intelligence deep within us.<br /><br />Attention is primordial intelligence, consciousness itself. It joins us the perceiver and us the perceived in a unifying field of our awareness.<br /><br />The present moment is deeper than what happens in it. It is the space in which it happens. Eventually, the focus is on the inner, silent and still presence of awareness itself, rather than on its passing content.<br /><br />We’re responsible for reining in our attention, taking command of our power of focused awareness, and purposefully choosing how we’ll live moments of our life. We can waste and dissipate them, or we can centre ourself intentionally and live fully in the present moment. It all begins with a decision to live in this way only.
