We should begin and end Recovery with this quote and leave it at that, because that is as simple as it is.
But, we do want to clarify one thing – and that’s that we want to be smart about this.
We don’t want to make the choice to go down into dark basement where there is a man with a gun waiting for you – that doesn’t make sense.
We are not talking about choices that put us in mortal danger. On the contrary, we are talking about those choices in everyday life that scare the crap out of us.
THOSE are basements we want to go down. Why? Because the messages we get from our intuition, from our child within buried in our basement, are calling us out into the unknown – and we are naturally scared of the unknown. That's just the way it is.
So, if we are scared to make a choice: to quit a group, to start new recovery, to leave abusive relationships – and we know we must make this choice or live an unfulfilled recovery life – then THAT is the choice that will lead us to freedom.
It’s not that we aren’t intuitive – it’s that we are scared of our intuition.
We spend most of our time at THE STAGES studying with people to get them to make the choice that scares them the most. Getting to that decision point is the work. There are stories on top of stories on top of stories and beliefs that hold folks back from making that choice. But ultimately, nothing else will bring them fulfilment and joy.
The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course. It is a source of reconnection a method of unlearning and a reintroduction to our child within which leads us back to our one true intuitive voice.We start to learn and come out of our protective dysfunctional shell and reclaim our lives. #childwithin#10stages
