1. Surrender
The first principle of addiction recovery is
definitely universal and that is the principle of
surrender. In fact the very presence of
surrender defines addiction itself. If you can
overcome a drug or alcohol problem without coming
to the point of surrender then what you were
experiencing was not addiction or alcoholism to
begin with. You may have had a drinking problem
or a drug problem but by definition you were
not truly addicted.

2. Creative Recovery
It is my belief that we cannot just run away from
drugs and alcohol if we are true addict or
alcoholic. Me, if I were to drink even one beer
then I know exactly what would happen my
addiction would rear its ugly head and I would
end up using all sorts of drugs in a very short
period of time and be right back at my worst by
the end of the week. It happens fast and I have
watched it over and over again among my peers.
Real addicts and alcoholics are completely
destroyed by relapse, no matter how innocent it
may seem.

3. Relapse Prevention
I believe that every recovering addict and
alcoholic is bound to relapse some day unless
they are pushing themselves to keep making
growth. Long term recovery is an exercise in
personal growth. Complacency kills. If you get
lazy in your journey then it is because you have
decided that you have arrived. This is always a
mistake and results in relapse. The solution is
to pursue personal growth. It is only through
personal growth that you can protect yourself
from relapse.
