A common quote is "it works if you work it!" This quote refers to applying the tools of the program resulting in successfully maintaining sobriety. In today's episode I share how I have challenges in my life like everyone else that cause me to question myself and make me feel like giving up. In my past these down on myself and down in the dumps feelings are what lead me to depressive episodes. Today I share how I use the tools I have learned from the 12 steps, Buddha Dharma other authors and counselors to pick myself up and keep myself moving forward on a path of growth and success.
