It used to drive me crazy early in addiction recovery when people would say ‘Bill you’re just not getting it’. I wanted to know how you are measuring my progress in addiction recovery, and by what standards are you judging me and saying that I’m not getting it. I’m doing just fine thank you; I would be petulant and angry. Clear as a bell to others, I was talking the game but not performing.
On the other hand, sometimes I would see no progress at all, be about to give up, and people would say ‘You’re doing great.’ or worse yet, ‘You’re doing exactly what you need to be doing at this time’. That would drive me nuts. I was so closed in my own head, you’re telling me I’ve got the answer, I don’t know what the heck the question is.
Looking for some signs of progress in addiction recovery, evidence if you will or a r yardstick that could compare myself to became a goal. Here are some concepts which I used and you may want to take a look at to measure your progress in addiction recovery:

I think so that the best part is to develop a plan set to achieve the goal of my life. It may be very difficult to leave the best relationships but they have to sacrifice it to come up in life. Be sure that you do not have to hide yourself in this society after recovering. No one can harm you except you. Be bold enough to face all problems and win situations.
Yes you have to be a strong person when you are treading on the path of recovery.What I felt when I was over with smoking that there was a marked change in my attitude.I was more clear with the fact that I am never going to have even a puff. The cravings were also taken care of, in the sense that I started working on my fitness, regular exercises helped me a lot.I was not scared that I will ever fall for smoking again and this idea made me feel good.
Thanks for these points. People always like reassurance that they are on the right path, especially when the goal seems soooo far away.
