NOWCOVERY. What is it and how do I get it?

• Are you miserable with your life? 
• Do you wake up feeling helpless and hopeless? 
• Do you feel fatigued most of the time? 
• Do you have a sense that something is wrong in your relationship, but you can't quite put your finger on what the problem is? 
• Is your financial life in a shambles? 
• Have you been suffering from physical ailments recently? Like irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, and over-all aches and pains? 
• Do you find that you are asking yourself if you drink or use other drugs too much? 
• Are other people telling you that your use is out of control? 
• Would you say that you are not suicidal, but wouldn't mind if your life somehow just came to an end? 
• Are you irritable and angry? 
• Do you see life as something that you wish you didn't have to endure? 
• Is it hard for you to remember a time in your life that you felt safe, happy, and secure? 
• Was your childhood traumatic? 
• Do you feel like life has been an endless amount of problems and work without any reward? 

NOWCOVERY may be the answer for you. I have found in my journey of getting healthier that by incorporating certain techniques I was successful and gaining sobriety and happiness. My life had not ever really felt fulfilling. I had always suffered from depression and anxiety. My childhood was marked with feelings of fear, loneliness, and underachievement. That had carried through into all of my adulthood until I started down the road of what I learned to refer to as wellbriety. For me, getting sober wasn't enough. I had to completely change my life, who I was, how I thought, and what I believed about myself. NOWCOVERY became my answer because there really wasn't anything I wanted to REcover. 

Through meditation, mindfulness, a relationship with my creator, and self inventories I became so much more aware of what I could and couldn't control. I was able to make decisions and take action (not reaction) based upon what outcome I needed to have. The outcome I ALWAYS NEED TO HAVE is sobriety, serenity, and peace. The process of NOWCOVERY allows that to happen more frequently. You CAN change how you think, feel, and react.

Listen to the voice within

Listen to the voice within. It's that voice that is nudging you awake at night with anxiety. It might approach you as a fear of something bad coming for you, but you don't know what it is. It may be a constant underlying feeling of discomfort or discontent. We all have experienced that voice at one time or another in our lives. Each of us has our own ways of trying to quiet that voice or turn it down or off. My favorite way to turn that voice off was alcohol. Sometimes food or shopping. Whatever I tried to use to quiet it never kept it silenced for long. Nowcovery truly begins when you start listening to that voice. You say to yourself "something is wrong, I am not sure what it is. But I am going to find out." That takes courage.

The voice may sound like your own voice. But it's not. It's the voice of your creator. Each of us were created by design. We are not the way we are by accident. We were created to fulfill a particular purpose. And the even more wonderful news is when we are living IN our purpose, or ON purpose we are HAPPY. Even more than that we are fulfilled.

As we begin to make choices in life that take us out of our design our creator starts trying to get our attention. He starts allowing things to happen that are difficult situations for us to handle. Some of these things are painful. They cause us great emotional turmoil. The more we ignore the voice the more difficult the consequences become. This isn't out of hate from our creator, he is not a terrorist. He knows we will truly be our happiest when we are living the life we were created to live. He is redirecting.

So, If you have been having these experiences it means you are being presented with an opportunity. Truly everything that you want is on the other side of two things, Fear and surrender. Are you willing to start considering a possibility of living a different way? If so, you are on the brink of nowcovery. I encourage you to take a deep breath and open up the door to true freedom.
