5 Aids in Preventing Relapse

HALT, healing, Relapse preventionBy KyczyOctober 5, 2014

Preventing Relapse Five Ways I love my fellowship as a group and I love each person in the group. When one person is going through difficulty, we are all affected, and we all suffer when the disease takes one person out. This is a “cunning, baffling and powerful” disease and we must each remain vigilant…

Who Is Your Teacher?

I was speaking with a friend the other day and she boldly asked me that question: “Who is your teacher?” She was talking about yoga, but I heard it at a deep fundamental level. Who is my teacher? I have had many teachers, many guides, many angels who have helped me along the way. Some…

Discovering Spring, Growth and Hope

I teach a yoga class at a place that is up in the hills in South San Jose. We start at 9am so today I had this pleasant post rain drive up the hill to the center. While it is an urban drive, a frontage road paralleling a major freeway, there is also a pond…

Triggers and Tunes

addiction, music, Recovery, Relapse, Relapse prevention, triggers, yogaBy KyczySeptember 1, 20123 Comments

Many of us in recovery have triggers: smells, sights, areas of town or even stories / dramas can trigger a memory. Even worse, some of these can trigger a craving. For instance where I once liked all manner of action shows I now can’t watch the ones with graphic scenes of drug use. I can’t…

Avoiding Relapse of Every Stripe

Yes – I can relapse – not my substance addiction but my emotional sobriety. How does this happen? How “unlovely” can I BE! What can I do to prevent it? Some event occurs. I come into it feeling vulnerable: insecure, unsure, fearful or uncared for. A conversation commences and does not go well. And I…

I was talking to a woman I sponsor the other day. We were talking about being active in the program (of AA), doing “the footwork” and other things we do to keep our practice of the program alive, when out of my mouth jumped this phrase “my recovery is like a shark; it will die…
