It's seems like a whinding road like in the picture.
Sometimes we don't see around the next bend or turn in the road, we want to see way up ahead and know where we're going and that the road will smooth out and get a bit straighter and easier but sometimes we're right at a curve and we have to stay on this road to get past that curve. It's a struggle sometimes we have to stay very focused or else lose control of our vehicle, we may end up wrecking if we're not careful.
It takes a bit of faith also that we'll make it around that curve, that theres not a semi tractor trailer hauling butt just on the other side ready to wipe us out
As you can see in the picture the sky is blue and beautiful, the landscape is a bit barren but pretty and ruggid, I bet theres even some gold in those hills . So what i'm saying is don't miss whats on the road along the way and personally I have to appreciate more of the beauty of this trip.
Your all welcome to share your thoughts here, like to hear from you all whats your journey been like? thanks.
What a great analogy Vini. I feel like one of the lucky ones, my journey just keeps getting better every day or wait is that true or is it my attitude and perspective that have changed??? Ok truth be told I have faced a lot of shit in my recovery but this new perspective that I have got thanks to working the steps makes it all doable. I dont think it matters what happens in my life so long as I keep a positive attitude and have faith in my higher power I can get through anything. I try not to worry about whats around the curve in the road but just stay focused on whats around me at the moment, works for me.
awww thanks Vini, I try to get on here as much as I can but I never make it to the meetings because I still go to face to face meetings prety much every night. I will make more of an effort to be in the chat room when ever I can though. Thank you for being a big part of MIP I love reading your stuff.
Thanks Sandra you too are a great asset to this site. Some folks do ALOT here I felt bad about not doing more.
I remember just before relasping this last time that voice telling me GET INTO SERVICE GET OUT OF SELF to thats what has gotten me going this time, it's not much but every little bit counts towards our own personal recovery and the recovery of others. If noone was here for me what would I have now? not much maybe not even clean today this place helped me save myself and it was others who helped me do that.
We love you Sandra and want you around MORE you know how we addicts are always want MORE MORE MORE HEh Heh
you have a gift
