Help For The Junior Junkies - by Dan Duchaine

[Dr. Joel Nathan]

When you wrote: "life on life's terms needs to be pushed... not a drug substitute." You nailed it. Recovery does not come from anything that can be seen. There's tools to get one through ANYTHING. In these difficult times, having that support already in place has been helpful to the people that I help.

What I find is amazing is that when I'm spiritually fit, I also am able to workout with more focus and strength. It all takes practice and learning from mistakes.

Coping skills. We develop them as a survival mechanism.
When I am not in touch with my higher power, my mind starts to wander. I know its time to take a step back and connect with the Lord again, Catch a meeting, call my sponsor. Its when I do NOT take initiative to shoot that monkey on my back that is a huge tell tale sign that something is wrong.

Now I know why so many pro bodybuilders wear fanny packs- so they won't be w/o their bain and needles.
