Today we’re talking about steps 4 to 9 of the 12-Step Programme, where we clean house and take responsibility for our decisions and actions. In part one of steps 4 to 9, we are focusing on steps 4 to 7, where we share our stories and our history with our fellow patients. Having someone from the outside looking in allows us to fill in the gaps on what the core problem is, and how we can work on it. Join us on this multi-part journey as our Executive and Clinical Director, Caleb Atmore, guides us through the 12-Steps and explores recovery at The Cedars. #SurrenderAndAcceptance #RecoveryJourney #SpiritualPrinciples #AddictionTreatment #WeDoRecover #TheCedarsRehab #Healing #AddictionRecovery

Then we move into steps 4 through 9, which is about cleaning house. But I've never attempted to do in my life was to take responsibility for my decisions, my actions, my behaviour and tries as I did to be a victim kind of go like life happened to me, you know, and I was a victim of circumstance and, and my upbringing and all that kind of nonsense. And those were just excuses and justifications to use. The truth was that I was actually a very selfish individual. I put drugs and alcohol ahead of other people most of my life. I've been dishonest to the people. Care about me. I had lied to, stolen from, cheated on. I was not a nice human being and that was on me. That wasn't because of things I've been through in my life. It was my responsibility and the only thing I could really change was me. And steps 4 through 9 gave me the opportunity to put pen to paper and really look at a lot of my baggage. I had a lot of resentments, a lot of blame. I had a lot of guilt and shame, things that I had done, the person that I'd become. Getting all of that out on paper, this is very difficult, but at the same time very liberating. Because as I got through step four and five, where where we share that with another person and that person helps us to fill in the blanks and and see the things that we don't see about our problems and deficiencies. Suddenly I realized what my problem was. It wasn't drugs and alcohol. I realised that using was just the way that I coped with all the baggage that I created through living life on soft wall. And when I shared that with somebody for the first time in my life, I've been completely honest with another human being about everything that I've done and who I was and I. Never done that. I've never been completely honest with anyone in my life. There was always versions of myself that I would expose to people, versions of me that different people would know, but no one knew everything. And for the first time, I sponsor was the first person who actually knew everything, including my deepest, darkest secrets. And what that did was highlighted these defects of character. We called them and things that are needed to work on and change about me because I was gonna keep recreating the same problems in my relationships if I keep behaving the same way. Step six and seven is about looking at that thoroughly and asking the God of our understanding and our higher power to help us work on those things on a day-to-day basis. And treatment at Cedars was very helpful in that way because we have a concerned group that's quite infamous where people will confront each other about their defects. And I remember sitting in groups where people would talk about how inconsiderate I could be. I also had a really bad and inappropriate sense of humour was one thing that came up. The jokes that I made were quite offensive. I'd never thought of it that way. I never thought about how my behaviour actually impacted the people around me. And at the Cedars in these concern groups, people helped me to see that fire, you know, spotted you got it. And, and we all can identify and what those behaviours, but it's easier to see it in in someone else than it is to see it in yourself. In those groups, we would, we would help each other to see those truths and, and work on that behaviour.

“I don't think it's just anxiety. I think you may actually have OCD.” Sam Temple's story of OCD misdiagnosis is one that many people in the #OCD community can relate to. It highlights the importance of proper #mentalhealth assessment and treatment, and the possibilities that open up when people are connected to the right care. 👉 Hear her full story on “Get to know OCD”: https://lnkd.in/gYDcqB2h #OCDtreatment #PatientExperience #HealthEducation

The biggest hurdle of an addict: Thinking that no one understands what they’re going through. But really, no one understands better than the staff in our recovery centers. In fact, most of our staff are in recovery themselves. It’s why we place such an emphasis on community and connection – Our patients are able to hear each other’s experiences in group sessions and talk to staff who they feel understood by when they’re having a hard time. Recovery is hard, But it gets a little easier when you know you’re not alone. #CreatingLegends #addictionrecovery #rehabilitation
