Divinity 9/2/03 - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

If I had to describe something as divine it would be what happens between people when they really get it together. There is a kind of spark that makes it all worthwhile. When you feel that spark, you get a good feeling deep in your gut.
-June L. Tapp

How lucky we are, that we can experience that divine spark with one another, and with all recovering women. The program offers us the chance, every moment of our lives from this day forward, to experience divinity. All we are asked to do is be there, for one another, to share fully who we are. Vulnerability gets easier as we learn that we can trust each other, that we can share pain, that it's okay to pull and prod and follow, first you and then me and then her.

What a thrill it is to leave our competition behind! The program bonds us together, and the bond will strengthen each of us, but it can elude us, too. It often does when we forget to be there, in one another's presence, when the opportunity comes.

I need these sparks to nurture my growth, singly and collectively. I will be part of a divine experience today.

That you for posting this beautiful thread, when I really needed to read it.

I am so very grateful for the spark that joins all of us in our recovery. I need the support from each and every one of you and I need to be able to give back what I can. This is one place I can come, exactly as I am, and just be honest and share. Because it is the one place I can trust and be trusted completely.

Thank you all for being here and keeping my spark aglow.

Hugs
Ann

This make me think of trust. I did not trust anyone when I first got clean, especially women. Today I know why, because I was not trustworthy, how could I trust others when I did not trust myself.

Today it is not like that. And you are right, the spark connects us and helps us learn to trust.

Thank you!

I really love this one, I practiced this just for the day and it really brought home to me just how amazing we are when we connect and that we really do need eachother.

This reminded me of my isolation and believing that other people were a waste of energy and time. In a way that's true because I had so little energy that I had none to give. Now I really love those moments when I'm having that spark with another person and I find it energising.
