We suspect that if we do not use what we have, we will lose what we have.
Gray Book, p.119 (Chapter Seven, Heading)
Recovery is a process, but so is a relapse; the process of a relapse requires no work on our part. The fact is, not working on our Recovery process is when the relapse process begins. The Recovery process requires constant action on our part. Our Literature says that our Program is a set of Principles written so simply that we can follow them in our Daily Lives.
The most important thing about them is that they work. Addiction affects us in every area of our Lives. We must Practice these Spiritual Principles, in every area, for them to work.
Our Literature reminds us that if we don't use what we have, we lose it in a relapse. The last physical action in a relapse is that we use. We get loaded at the end of a relapse.
The process of Recovery ceases when we stop using what we've learned, at that point the relapse process begins. We must stay active in our Recovery. We must continue to attend meetings.
We also continue working with our Sponsors and Sponsees if we have any. Our Literature tells us that we continue Living the Spiritual Principles of the Steps and Traditions.
We also have to give away what we have in order to keep it.
