<\/span>        One
\nof the things you should be noticing about your sobriety is that your
\nvalues are changing. Things that used to be important to you–maybe
\nhaving time to get high, a knack for making up convincing excuses, or
\nbuddies who can drink as much as you can–no longer are important. And
\nthings you once pushed aside–perhaps being reliable and trustworthy–are
\nbecoming more and more important.<\/span><\/p>\n

        For example, one of the things I value is loyalty to those I love and cherish.  With my recent situation of someone I love relapsing, instead of living in resentment and anger, I turn to my values of loyalty, commitment, and love.  These are the values that allow me to stay out of my diseased values and stay in the values and cherish and resonate with I am.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

            <\/span>It’s
\nnot that you never valued being reliable or trustworthy; it’s just that
\nthose values got put on the shelf when your top priority was to get
\ndrunk or high. Now that your top priority is to be sober, you have a
\nchance to embrace the values that align with who you are in sobriety.<\/span><\/p>\n

            <\/span>The
\n Law of Sobriety <\/a>says that your values must be in line with your true
\nessence if you want to resonate the positive energy it will take to
\nattract everything in life that you desire. That means you stop doing
\nthings that make you feel guilty–because if you are feeling guilty,
\nyou’re not acting in accordance with your values. In sobriety, you have
\nthe freedom to live by your values. Your addiction doesn’t run your
\nlife–you do. <\/span><\/p>\n

            <\/span>When
\nyour values align with your true essence, you are doing the things you
\nare good at and truly enjoy. You are making choices that honor your
\nvalues. What are the moments in your life that have been especially
\nfulfilling or rewarding? In those moments, you were aligned with your
\nvalues. And in those moments, the energy of the universe filled you with
\ndrive and fulfillment and peace.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
