Some memes

helps me stay. of course, where exactly am i staying? well, i am staying clean, staying in recovery (NOTE: being clean and being in recovery are NOT the same thing) and i am staying connected to the fellowship that has given me the freedom to live as i do today. it is true that i have a recovery routine that i go through every day, as mundane as that may sound. i am certain though,m because i have that routine, i need not “persevere.” i never feel “as if” i am doing all that much work although many of my peers may see that what i do as onerous. i have just come to a place where i live my program starting with my routine and it works for me. if something is working, i see no reason to change it.
i could go into writing about my peers that have “relapse” in their recovery journey. i am not sure what good that would do, except to say that their actions and the consequences that were manifest, are certainly guideposts for what i do in my recovery. i can say that there have been many times in my recovery journey where i truly wondered if this recovery gig was paying off. i can say that just for today, it is and i will sign-off on that upbeat note.
