I conceptualise it is as "being centred" in my recovery when I am as far away from drinking as I can be.
Knowing when I am not centred- even only by a small degree is important. Knowing what helps you get back to a good place is what needs to be implemented.
Getting back on track for me usually means not rushing to the future in my mind, slowing down more and taking time to listen, and watch without judgement- and to refocus on what I am thankful for.
