What a beautiful quote. I know it's true, and I can lose that connection, have it slip away gradually, if I am not careful. I know it is hp that has kept me sover over the years. I am so blessed and truly it is only lately that I have really come to understand this. I came into recovery really young, relapsed at almost ten years, lost a few hours of recovery and now have been sober for 5 years again. I almost typed "was blessed with a relapse", lol. That shift in my thinking that I am able to feel that way after having relapsed at that amount of time is due only to a higher power. The relapse deepened my experience of recovery and my gut-level knowledge of my disease in a way that I would not trade for anything strange as it seems.
