It's the second installment of Ask Karyn & Andrew! I know you're so excited, you can hardly stand it! (Insert smirk here.)
We had another great question this week...
If I got a chip for an issue that turns out to have a deeper root cause, do I celebrate the first anniversary, the second, or both with chips?
{From Karyn}
Celebrate both. Recovery is all about steps! Taking steps that are leading you to be the person Christ intended you to be. So I would say get two chips (or more) and celebrate ALL victories. An example might be an alcoholic - they receive chips along the way for abstaining from alcohol BUT as they work their recovery they might receive other chips relating to why they started drinking in the first place (anger over abuse, fear, anxiety, control...etc.)
{From Andrew}
This is a great opportunity to remind everyone that we need to be Celebrating! Make sure you are keeping track of your progress and get your accountability partners involved. When you get a blue chip maybe tell them you want to go out for coffee when you get your 30 day chip.
This is called Celebrate Recovery after all! It is an important part of our recovery and may be the most often overlooked. Have a great one!
Until next time...
