a conflicting message of Change, Recovery & Purpose

I'm interested in anyone thoughts on this matter,
Not just rationally, but spiritually, for deep questions
Require deep & rich solutions.

Concept#1: Recovery requires fundamental change
Concept#2: Fundamentally, everything in life is dynamic

So, what is this apparent "change" and why is it so "fundamental"?

Personally I recognize the continuosity of my total existence.
The only constant is change itself.... even a rock, a religion,
Alll the shadows, pass, and are done..

I see my recovery as more of a choice than a fundamental change,
Between Light and thw Denial of Light,
..and I don't see my sobriety date as sort of 180 degree turning point.
In fact what I was doing was "sitting on the fence" avoiding
The ultimate question of life universe and everything...

Anyone can relate..contribute?
