Loving a drug addict or an active alcoholic is the hardest thing you will ever do. Watching someone you love, who has fought so hard to beat addiction, throw everything away and sink back into a life that will most likely lead to jail or death, is one of the hardest things you will ever do. All you wanted was to help them back to a clean and sober life but you realize by doing this, as you have before, will now just be enabling them because it will show them that you will always be there to bail them out. You want to grab and shake them and say "What are you doing?!?!" But, at some point you realize that it wouldn't make a difference. So you sit back and watch the tragedy unfold, as if you are watching a movie. Feeling helpless to stop it, feeling like you haven't done enough to help, even though you know only the addict can help themselves. Having to disconnect yourself from them to save yourself from plunging into the abyss with them. It’s one of the hardest things you will ever experience. You love them from afar and keep praying that they will find their way. Battling a drug and/or an alcohol addiction is a beast for the person addicted and the ones who love them. So l am asking you to stand with me in prayer for every family member and friend who has lost or is losing their battle with drugs and alcohol and those who continue to conquer it!
September is National Recovery Month! Put this on your page for one hour if you know someone who has or had an addiction. Many will be hesitant to!!! Some of you won't, but I think I know the ones who will.

Step 4 of the 12-step program encourages one to make a "searching and fearless moral inventory" of themselves. This involves identifying our problems and getting a clear picture of how our behavior has affected ourselves and others around us in order to proceed to recovery.

"Hey you, no giving up today, ok?"

Instead, remind yourself of what you've been able to overcome. All the times you felt like you weren't going to make it through, you proved yourself wrong. Your more powerful than you think!

We at The Doors of Hope wish you a Happy Tuesday 😊

At first, a sober life seemed unnatural. We wondered what life could possibly be like without ever taking a drink. But the longer we were in it, the more natural this way of life seemed.

One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else's survival guide.

Today we congratulate Mr. Juan Rivera Sr., father of one of the founders of The Doors of Hope, on his 15th Sobriety Birthday.

The Importance Of Breaking Generational Cycles

Some traits passed down from our generational legacy are beautiful, e.g., our stunning looks, intellect, lovely personality, genuineness, kindness, generosity, self-sufficiency, etc.

So what are generational cycles?
They are negative patterns or traits. They are passed down from our family’s history to several generations until someone decided to break these vicious cycles.

In earlier days, we barely hear the term “generational cycles.” But, in today’s world, we often hear these words ”YOU HAVE TO BREAK THE CYCLE,” so okay, why is it so essential for us to break generational cycles? So that this destructive invasive trait/behavior stops robbing us of our birthright. And the fantastic creativity that we were born with that bringeth forth our abundant life.

Please don’t assume that generational cycles are our fault, but our responsibility is to break these negative traits. So the quicker we identify and break them it will be more beneficial for ourselves and our children. Especially, If these dysfunctional negative habits affect our loved ones or livelihood, the saying “my mamma or my daddy was/is the same.” We should take Negative dysfunctional behavior more seriously, and they’re nothing to joke around with or ne proud of.

We battle with these negative behaviors, destructive patterns, and self-destructive lifestyles. Unfortunately, most people are not even aware of these vicious, repetitive cycles passed down to us. However, to identify these vicious cycles, pay close attention to the negative, self-destructive patterns in your life. The ones that keep repeating themselves and are being passed down to our children, AKA these are generational cycles.

Generational cycles can only be broken if we become fully aware of them.

Once we’ve identified these negative cycles, instead of enabling these destructive patterns or make excuses for these bad habits and behavior, we must take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable for breaking these negative patterns.

So if you’re feeling trapped or think that there is no hope and these dysfunctional patterns are part of your life, it will just be this way for the rest of your life. It is not. There is hope. A transformational mindset is achievable for anyone. And I said this because transformation is an inside job. So start shifting your mindset to break the negative cycle. When transformation takes place, it will change your perspective and your outlook on life. Seek help from a Transformation Life Coach, your church, pastor, trustworthy friend, psychologist, or mental Health Coach if this goes much deeper. Etc.

6 Ways to break generational cycles

1. Becoming self-aware of these destructive patterns.
2. Educating yourself about family history.
3. Taking accountability to own your part.
4. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help.
5..Ensure that it stops with you.
6. Accepting that generational cycles are our responsibility to break.

The symptoms of M**h withdrawal can vary from person to person. The severity of the side effects depends on a number of factors, including the length of time the individual used M**h, the amount of M**h they used, how frequently they used, and whether they engaged in polydrug use and also abused other substances. Additionally, other factors, such as the method used to consume the drug, can affect withdrawal. Those who inject M**h will typically experience a longer, more intense withdrawal process than those who don’t.

Signs and symptoms of withdrawal can include:

Fatigue
Increased appetite
Agitation
Insomnia
Excessive sweating
Paranoia
Hallucinations
Fever
Red, itchy eyes
Confusion
Nausea
Loss of motivation
Tremor
Suicidal thoughts
Stomach ache
Anxiety
Severe depression
Dehydration

Seeking treatment in a clinical setting with medical support can ease withdrawal symptoms and can potentially enhance the overall recovery process and limit relapse potential.

You got this and can do this 🙏✨️

The Disease of Addiction

What makes us addicts is the disease of addiction ---not the drugs, not our behavior, but our disease. There is something within us that makes us unable to control our use of drugs. This same "something" also makes us prone to obsession and compulsion in other areas of our lives. How can we tell when the disease is active? When we become trapped in obsessive, compulsive, self-centered routines, endless loops that lead nowhere but to physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional decay. (NA Step Working Guides 1998, p1-2)

Fear or Faith?

"No matter how far we ran, we always carried fear with us."

Basic Text p. 14

For many of us, fear was a constant factor in our lives before we came to Narcotics Anonymous. We used because we were afraid to feel emotional or physical pain. Our fear of people and situations gave us a convenient excuse to use drugs. A few of us were so afraid of everything that we were unable even to leave our homes without using first.

As we stay clean, we replace our fear with a belief in the fellowship, the steps, and a Higher Power. As this belief grows, our faith in the miracle of recovery begins to color all aspects of our lives. We start to see ourselves differently. We realize we are spiritual beings, and we strive to live by spiritual principles.

The application of spiritual principles helps eliminate fear from our lives. By refraining from treating other people in harmful or unlawful ways, we find we needn't fear how we will be treated in return. As we practice love, compassion, understanding, and patience in our relationships with others, we are treated in turn with respect and consideration. We realize these positive changes result from allowing our Higher Power to work through us. We come to believe - not to think, but to believe - that our Higher Power wants only the best for us. No matter what the circumstances, we find we can walk in faith instead of fear.

Just for today: I no longer need to run in fear, but can walk in faith that my Higher Power has only the best in store for me.

Freed From Insanity

Do I believe it would be insane to walk up to someone and say, "May I please have a heart attack or a fatal accident."

Basic Text p.23

We've heard it said that unless we're in love, we can't remember what love feels like. The same could be said of insanity: Once we're freed of it, we may forget how truly bizarre our insane thinking can be. But to be grateful for the degree of sanity to which we've been restored in Narcotics Anonymous, we need to remember just how truly insane we've been.

Today, it may be bard to imagine saying something as ridiculous as, "May I please have a heart attack or a fatal accident?" No one in their right mind is going to ask for such things. And that's the point. In our active addiction, we were not in our right mind. Each day we practiced our addiction, we courted fatal disease, degradation, exploitation, impoverishment, imprisonment, death by violence, even death by sheer stupidity. In that context, the idea of asking for a heart attack or a fatal accident doesn't sound all that far out. That's how insane we've been.

The program, the fellowship, and our Higher power-together, they've worked a miracle. The Second Step is not a vain hope - it is reality. Knowing the degree of the insanity we've experienced, we can appreciate all the more the miraculous Power that has restored us thus far to sanity. For that, we are truly grateful.

Just for today: I will take some time to recall how insane I've been while practicing my addiction. Then, I will thank my Higher Power for the sanity that's been restored to my life.

Happy Birthday Victor we @ TDOH wish you a very Happy 61st Birthday

It should be a crime to discard instruments that are in working condition. We found this beautiful BRADBURY Piano along the sidewalk a few months ago and it's a treat to listen to Ed play it. He still needs practice but boy is it beautiful to listen to him play every morning........We the people @ The Doors of Hope wish you a beautiful week full of faith, love and self productivity 💕
