THE ONLY REASON WE STAY IS BECAUSE WE WANT TO,BECAUSE WE HAVENT LEARNED THE LESSON THAT LIFE IS TRYING TO TEACH US. iTS KIND OF LIKE THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING THAT MUST OCCUR IN AN ADDICTS LIFE BEFORE THEY REALLY STAND A CHANCE AT RECOVERY.ONE DAY WE JUST HAVE A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AND WE COME TO UNDERSTAND OUR ROLE IN THE SITUATION,AND WE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE WONT GET DIFFERENT RESULTS BY DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN.WE STOP PLAYING THE GAME,IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO,WE JUST STOP OUR WILLINGNESS TO CONTINUE DANCING.THE ADDICTS IMPORTANCE AND INFLUENCE STARTS FADING AWAY.OUR NEED TO TAKE CARE SUBSIDES.iNDEED WE BECOME ABSTINENT FROM OUR DRUG(CARETAKING)AND THROUGH ABSTINENCE AS EVERY FIRST STEP WE EVENTUALLY ACHIEVE SOBRIETY WHICH FOR US IS SERENITY
