Thanks everyone for your participation in the recovery marathon last Saturday!
The focus of the marathon was on how use of the tools can help one to achieve and maintain their abstinence. This practice requires humility and honesty. In that vein, we have created a tools self assessment check list. Please feel free to use this whether you attended the marathon or not.
ToolKit Document is posted on the Intergroup Archives page under Assorted_docs as toolkit.pdf. The Intergroup archives page can be found on the menu on the right side of this page.
It is a simple way to rate your use of the tools honestly, so that you (with the guidance of your sponsor) can make a commitment to enhance your use of the tools. Hopefully this commitment will lead to renewed or enhanced abstinence.
Thank you.
