| Do you have a "life mission"?
Does your daily schedule conform to your mission?

After living a life of chaos for so many years, my life mission is just to keep peace in my life and to find beauty in every day. Working my program, setting time aside for prayer and meditation, helps keep me balanced and so far so good as far as the mission of inner peace goes. Hugs

I have a mission to get a better job and a better pay. But my schedule unfortunately does not conform to that mission. I have learnt that recovery is not the end of the process but only the beginning. If I have inner peace but no inclination to educate myself and no job and no money pretty soon I will be out on the street. My personal experience is when I got clean the first time 10 years ago, I thought of it as a huge achievement and did not care to get a better education or do further studies. A lot of people I know get so wrapped up in recovery 24 X 7 that they just dont do anything else.Staying sober or recovered alone will get you nowhere.

My main mission is to stay sober, and the rest of life falls in around that. Hi mumbai78, it's never too late to start studying or change jobs. I've done both in recovery.

That is a good question. In recovery, I learned that I have operated most of my life on auto-pilot without a moral compass. I realized that it wasn't just alcohol addiction that was a bad choice in my life: I was making lots of other bad choices on other levels. When I started working on step 2, I starting thinking about a using a personal form of spirituality for the first time in my life. Being guided by a desire to do things honestly for myself and for others. That was NOT my goal for most of my life! Eeeeh. It is not easy though: I tell my therapist how hard it is to remember to step back and ponder my choices. I usually rushed rashly into situations without a single thought about what I was doing. It is not easy to change that kind of behavior. Does my daily schedule conform to my mission? When I use my program. And I use lots of other things in "my program" than AA, although AA is providing the master plan. |
