After Step 12
Daily Practice & Closing
Daily Battle Within Check-In
Use this short practice at the end of the day or whenever your recovery feels unsettled. The goal is not perfection. The goal is awareness followed by one responsible action.
When the Battle Gets Loud
Pause. Get honest. Do not isolate. Contact a trusted support person, sponsor, peer, clinician, spiritual support, or recovery resource. If you may harm yourself or someone else, are in medical danger, or need detoxification, contact emergency or crisis services immediately. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline; call 911 for an immediate emergency.
SAMHSA National Helpline
1-800-662-HELP (4357). Free, confidential, 24/7 treatment referral.
Closing Declaration
My story is not finished.
My past may explain me, but it will not govern me.
I will keep writing through honesty, accountability, recovery, purpose, and service.
