Much like there is no graduation date in life, the same applies to sobriety.
As we go deeper into recovery, we have the wonderful opportunity to put more in our spiritual toolkit each and every day. It matters not if we have 1 day or 40 years, there is still infinitely more to learn.
Sobriety is infinitely more than putting down the drink or drug. It is the first step and one we must take as it is the one thing that allows us to set out on our journey.
We are now ready to face life on life’s terms.
In recovery, what you need to know is that life will still happen… but you will get better at life. Much better. Infinitely better.
For so many years, we pushed away our problems with substances. Because of this, we never learned tools to live a life that is in complete acceptance of life’s ups and downs.
The beauty of life is in our ups and downs. Otherwise, life would be very boring. We smile at the sun when we arise from the dark.
If you are in a 12-step group or any sobriety support group, listen for the lessons. You may hear someone you don’t want to hear or who you think talks too much. Smile and know that this lesson is one of patience. There is always a lesson.
Approach every day with a genuine will to learn more and to get better accepting life for what it is.
Live in love and tolerance of others.
You have an amazing journey ahead.
