okay i will let the car analogy go with just this **SIGH**.
the gift notion, on the other hand, rang a chord with me this morning. from time to time, today is not one of those times, recovery feels more like a burden than a gift to me. you know: meetings are a bore, the members are hypocrites, and i never hear any recovery being shared when i do deign to attend a meeting. the nice part for days like that, even when they stretch into weeks or yes even months, is that i can still work my program, grit my teeth and carry on.
moving on, today, the chord it struck in my, echoed the words i said to a sponsee last night. we were speaking about his lack of success in completing a very tedious writing assignment, and i said that i did not want his 10th STEP to become a chore, as for me i see it as a gift.
time to get some lunch.
so generally this is not a whole day task, but my day has been full, and that is part of the gift of recovery. i could go on and on, but right now, i guess that being able to be present for the people in my life, my employer and the world in general, is worth doing whatever irt takes tro practice an active program of recovery.
