The Bridge...
In the Recovery movement a " Bridge" is sometimes symbolic of the Pain that we need to go through (or cross over) to reach the other side of the Bridge to peace,harmony and freedom. There is a very nice article describing this which has been misplaced. Once it is found it will be included here...
It is almost a natural reaction for those of us who have crossed the Bridge and are looking back... to look back on the other side of the Bridge to those who have not crossed yet and now offer guidance and encouragement to you and others to take that first step in the right direction across the Bridge...
You need to consider Trusting Your Inner Guide and move forward in the direction of Healing your wounds...

SUMMARY
The Accelerated Recovery Process™ ![]()
The Accelerated Recovery Process™
We hope that we have created a vision as to the possibilities that are available to you, to everyone. It is important for you to understand that this entire program is based on actual experience and not just another empty idea. It will be worth your time and efforts to look into the process further..
The major key ingredient is a combination of specific applications, not either / or.
First step is to study all of the material including the books and take a first step in each direction to apply the principles .The development of separating your consciousness from the mind might sound scary at first but as mentioned earlier it is a natural way for us to be...the bottom line is it just means to stop thinking,get out of our head and pay attention to what we are doing and what's going on right in front of our nose !

To focus on "Task at hand" in other words in the Here & Now..from the most simplest of tasks ...like to tie your shoe,brush your teeth, listen to a song..etc.... even though this might sound trivial it is EXTREMELY critical....
With the separation the most important key is to pay attention to your feelings and your thoughts and applying the skills that are outlined here simply to feel what comes up..if it is a strong overwhelming feeling it is an emotion surfacing to clear. Here we need 100% attention to the process, even if it means taking a walk alone or getting in the car and drive to a secluded park..or even if we are at work and can't just walk out go to a restroom and find an empty stall and get into process. If the feeling is just a mild feeling in reaction to an event, that's just normal and now we can completely process the feeling appropriately by simply feeling it and when the feeling subsides decide what to do about what the situation is all about. Regarding those constant thoughts, simply pay attention to them, question their validity and act or don't act accordingly.
After you develop your feeling skills to a level that you are comfortable and confident then aggressively deal with all of your addictions...You will be surprised at the unbelievable degree of empowerment you will feel when you reach this point. When you conquer the addictions the right way, they are gone forever, no " slips"...you then become a crusader to tell your friends and loved ones to also " give it up"...
The process will heal the emotional trauma PERMANENTLY , connect you with a new harmonious respect with your Feelings and create a FREEDOM at the cognitive level ( the racing,punitive thoughts ) with a result of peace and quiet..a new inner parenting attitude...
The processes of this Natural Healing Process is accomplished with absolutely no medications or drugs .
We ALL have the capabilities outlined in the following processes to accomplish our goal.
The concepts that are discussed here are extremely EASY TO UNDERSTAND but at first will be very difficult to master and yet EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE...once you achieve a predetermined degree of success..
Your OBSERVATIONS of your EXPERIENCES are crucial for a continuation of the processes..your successes will fuel future successes..kind of a snowball effect...
You may want to review the Page outlining the RESULTS you can expect...

THE PLAN...
THE PLAN WOULD BE TO MASTER THE PROGRAM AND SKILLS THEN..JUST LIVE YOUR LIFE AND APPLY THE PRINCIPLES TO YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE. YOUR SUB-CONSCIOUS WILL ATTRACT YOU TO PEOPLE ( INCLUDING SOULMATES ), EVENTS AND SITUATIONS THAT WILL BRING UP THE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ( EMOTIONS) THAT NEED TO BE PROCESSED. IN BETWEEN THE EMOTIONAL CYCLES ( DISCUSSED LATER ) WITH YOUR MOMENT TO MOMENT EXISTANCE PRACTICE PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS.. YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE RELENTLESS SUBTLE PATTERN THAT CONTROLS YOU AND INFLUENCES MOST OF YOUR DECISIONS AND STOPS YOU FROM WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO...

After the Emotions are processed then you will have a warm,respectful and productive relationship with your feelings...And on the Cognitive level after changing the self parental attitudes the combination of both including the processing of your addictions you will experience an incredible peaceful and abundant life..
Each Principle of each Phase is basic and simple to understand, however the Skills and application will take time.. a minimum of 3,4, 5 or more years...Remember your small successes will support and give to encouragement to continue the process.So make it a personal ritual to pay attention to the small steps as you move forward...
Phase I - Read the site content and read the corresponding books to validate the principle and actually practice the skills.
Phase II-Read the site content and read the corresponding books. Slowly allow your self to learn how to feel your feelings..gradually build the skills and practice on a daily basis..
Phase III-Read the site conten and corresponding books and pay attention to all of your thoughts .Question the thoughts and Intentionally learn new self parenting attitudes, to be kind to your self...
Phase IV-Read the site content. This will of course be perhaps the most challenging but the most important, because most if not all of our addictions are life threaenting and we need to address them...
THIS IS A POWERFUL SYSTEM THAT REALLY WORKS IF YOU APPLY YOURSELF !
REMEMBER THIS WILL ALL TAKE A LOT OF PRACTICE AND A LOT OF TIME, BUT THE MORE YOU APPLY YOURSELF THE FASTER THE PROCESS TO WHOLENESS WILL ACCELERATE !!!
OTHER TOOLS SUCH AS SUPPORT GROUPS, INTENSIVES..LEARNING HOW TO ASSERTIVELY PURSUE THE TRIGGERS AND MANY MORE OPTIONS WIL BE AVAILABLE TO YOU TO HELP ACCELERATE THE PROCESS...
In most cases most of your work will need to focus on the feeling process.
THIS IS A LONG TERM COMMITMENT ! This is not a "quick fix", "Telling you what you want to hear" Simple logical, control freak lover's , fly by night system. The difference ?... IT WORKS !
The significant difference with the Deep Feeling work that is suggested here, is that you need to go beyond the point of where you thought you could not go before...You of course will need supervision with a professional who has been there before them self before they can properly guide you..and remember that what is beyond the previous point of maximum tolerance is integration usually followed immediately with a deep healing catharsis...
HOW LONG WILL DEPEND UPON THE EXTENT OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL DEPTH OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE PROCESSED AND THE DEGREE OF DEVOTION THAT YOU ATTRIBUTE TO THE WORK.
And of course the application of the cognitive work as you proceed...
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU READ THE BOOKS LISTED ON THE SITE FOR A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESSES.
Remember the old Chinese proverb," The successful completion of a long journey begins with the first step"...So start today !
