The Benefits of Addiction Recovery may seem obvious to us at first but we soon realise that what we get from doing the work is extreme reward. In other words it doesn’t just get better it goes beyond what we can think, feel or imagine better might look like. Recovery is a necessary part of life. We are all doomed to make choices with limited knowledge and limited capabilities as evolving human beings. In other words we are doomed at first to fail. Paradoxically this is how we start to succeed in life. We learn from past failures. We learn from being egocentric, narcissistic, selfish and closed. That is how we open up to the full essence of who we really are as human beings with a soul. Animals with a divine nature. Addicts with a need for all things recovery.
The Benefits of Addiction Recovery come to those who wake up from the hell of an addicted, chaotic and self-centred lifestyle. These benefits we experience are available to everyone and it is amazing how each person who goes through the journey of addiction recovery starts to experience these states of bliss, joy, calm, balance and happiness in general. So much so that various patterns or stages of addiction recovery have been identified.
Now, Look at the 12 rewards of the 12 steps of AA for example, As Father Martin taught us, and see how Monkey is replaced with Sage Mind. Only ever make decisions with the latter going forward and things will start to shift, especially if you’re stuck with depression, anxiety or addictions.

The new Paradigm Process of Addiction Recovery treatment model
For more about The Benefits of Addiction Recovery, or to learn about our luxury rehab centre alternative in South Africa where you can do study the ultra-modern 10 Pathways back to Sacred self addiction treatment program that we have developed that hits the personality that created your addictions harder than a sledge hammer. We then learn our way out of addiction to fear, to alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, food and everything else when we remove the personality traits that you have developed in your life to help you survive. They are no longer working for you! When you know what they are and how they have evolved themselves within you we will then apply a formula of recovery for each addictive trait, traits that we call your ego-insurgents.
Addiction is an attempt to solve a problem. It is the symptom of a deeper malaise, in most cases, trauma. When bad things happened, or simply when good things that should have happened didn’t (when children didn’t get their needs met and were neglected), this can lead to addiction.

The The new Paradigm Process of Addiction Recovery treatment model offers you a 10 step program to heal your life. Backed by scientific evidence that is measurable, we have accumulated from real case studies since 2012, we have developed a way through whatever holds you back. How we found it was profoundly interesting and was the breakthrough we needed for seekers – people looking to actualise their full potential. We jumped into psychology, dipped into philosophy and then studied all the religions around the world. We began to understand how the brain controls the body and how emotions, memory, imagination and potential are all linked. This is your pathway out of addiction and back to your authentic, higher and sacred self.
12 REWARDS OF ADDICTION RECOVERY
When first entering recovery at say one of the luxury rehabs abroad, many of us find ourselves with a few doubts and reservations. We fear that it might become harder to make friends once we can no longer go to a bar and buy a few rounds. Perhaps we fear that we may lose the friends we already have if they perceive our sobriety as boring. This line of thinking does us no good, only serving as a distraction from the many benefits of working to overcome our addiction. Nevertheless, the rewards are great, both in quality and quantity. And perhaps nothing outlines these rewards better than the 12 Promises.
12 Rewards of Addiction Recovery taught at drug rehab centers, are also referred to as the Ninth Step Promises. They appear in Chapter 6 of Alcoholics Anonymous (“Into Action”) on pages 83 and 84. The relevant passage reads:
“If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us—sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.”
This is the sentiment about the 12 Rewards of Addiction Recovery with which AA members should approach the 12 Promises. In addition to the 12 Rewards of Addiction Recovery, we might also take some comfort in the 12 Rewards. Presented at the 1985 International Convention in Montreal by an AA member from Ohio, the 12 Rewards present us with attributes that will come to replace certain character defects if we work on our sobriety long enough.
