Don’t get me wrong, I’m getting stronger in my sobriety and making leaps in regards to my personal development (and life is sooo much better and different than it was), but I relied heavily on alcohol and drugs for a long time and it’s been quite an adjustment to live without them.

I’m hard on myself and often times, too hard.

Praying and meditating is a big part of my recovery program and I read something this morning that really made sense.

When climbing a steep hill, people are often more conscious of the weakness of their stumbling feet than of the view, the grandeur, or even of the upward progress.

It’s important to see myself for who I’m becoming, for the progress I’m making, and the pure beauty in the work I’m doing.

Maybe this is true with you too?
