Wallet Card – Stages Of Recovery

This great Laminated Wallet Card features: The Stages of Recovery!

Stage 1. I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost. I am helpless. It isn’t my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.

Stage 2. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don’t see it. I fall in, again. I can’t believe I am in this same place. But it isn’t my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.

Stage 3. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I fall in…it’s a habit…but, my eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.

Stage 4. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around.

Stage 5. I walk down a different street.
