Turning Destructive Energy into a Positive Force
In recovery we transform negatives into positives. The energy, cunning, and determination that were perfected in addiction can be powerful forces for good when properly channeled. When I commented to a recovering individual on how he going to an extraordinary degree to assist others in early recovery, he replied, I'll only go as far to help somebody as I would have gone for a drink or a fix, and that's a helluva long way. Nothing stands in the way of an addict who wants a chemical. When this determination is applied to positive goals, no obstacle is too great.
