Small Title
The Triangle of Obsession
Early in life we hold the belief that "we are the universe", nothing is outside ourselves. As we grow and mature, we find "the outside world cannot provide all our wants and needs". With that we come to the realization that we are self-sufficient and learn happiness and contentment comes from within. However, an addict never seems to "outgrow the self-centeredness of a child". Self-obsession takes over and using drugs and alcohol becomes a habit to escape from reality. Insanity comes from this self-obsession and resentment becomes a defense mechanism to tribulations. With practice of the 12-steps we can begin the journey to replace fear, anger, and resentment with acceptance, love and faith.

"Been There Done That has been a monumental piece to my recovery. I have been in active addiction for 13 years and thought I knew it all. Through these groups, I have been able to adopt a new way of living and learn more about myself and my addiction than I ever imagined. I have gained a new outlook on life, a connection and relationship to a higher power, and an understanding of what it entails to be in recovery. The facilitators have helped me find purpose in everyday life and helped me find the confidence to begin this new journey through life clean. Been There Done That has not only educated me, but they have empowered me to be who I am meant to be."
