Jake, I get what you're saying, and I fully agree that enjoying recovery is so very important.

I made recovery my priority, BUT I incorporated it into my everyday life. I knew that I needed balance. So, I started walking each day, which was about recovery, but so enjoyable on many levels. I started reading books on spirituality, again about recovery, but the books were so uplifting and inspirational to me. And, I started to keep a Gratitude Journal to help my mental health, again about recovery, but it simply felt like taking care of myself. I felt like a person with a balanced and centered life, not like someone who was obsessing about recovery.
