Often there have been past attempts at treatment or sobriety. Whatever the circumstances, it is expected that recovery will correct them and set things right. However, recovery begins with developing and practicing a personal program. The life that is changed and patterned on honesty and the principles of A.A. is the one that experiences total recovery. Too often, in early recovery, the focus can be diverted to fixing a single problem such as resolving a legal difficulty, repairing a marriage or relationship or finding a job.
All effort is given to the single task and total recovery is sidetracked.
While Kinnic Falls does provide assistance, guidance and counseling to resolve specific difficulties, the primary emphasis is to assist the clients in establishing their own personal recovery programs. Without exception, those that truly adopt the principles of A.A. and put them into action in their daily living, will see their difficulties resolved and will have peace and joy in their lives. The program is basically simple, but following it is not always easy. We know from experience that recovery is too often lost amid the cares, hurry and desires of daily living. Without structure, discipline and supportive environment, the newly recovering persons may become confused, discouraged and revert to old thinking, behaviors and relapse.
