I had planned to wake up this morning and head straight away to yoga and then off to the day. After thinking about it for awhile I realized I was trying to do to much so I just chilled and ate breakfast and whatnot. It is really cool how if I just allow myself to be the answers will come to me and so will what I am suppose to do…It is amazing how I don’t have to fight or force things I just have to be…
This week has been truly amazing. So much has been going on in all areas of my life. I have been going to yoga a lot and that has been integral in my ability to deal with life on life’s terms. Not to mention meetings, step-work, higher power, and all of the rest.
My home group had a commitment at the Friday meeting in Central Square last night. It is an intimidating meeting so many people and you have to stand up at the podium and all that…but wow what a message of hope the group gave. I shared from the heart and one thing is becoming true for me: I like many other addicts definitely have something to share. I said last night “I can’t share what I don’t have.” That is so true. I can only share my experience, strength, and hope. What became clear to me last night is that I have done a lot of work throughout the process of recovery and I have made so many connections and it *is* important that I share those connections with other addicts and in doing so I give back what was so freely given to me.
I cannot recover alone. I need other addicts.
The season has changed and I am really digging it…I will be doing a HALO jump on Friday June 20, 2008. I can’t wait to jump from 21,000 ft. I will be 34 on the 23rd!
Life certainly is what you make it! I suppose it is better to make life than have life make you! It is a choice when we have the choice anyway…
