My sponsor has told me at least a dozen times, if not more, "You are right were you are supposed to be".

I took that and apply it to everything. I am were I am supposed to be in recovery, in life, at my job, with my family, with my home, with my friends etc.

It reminds me to stay in the now and with me. I am not you or them and that goes for everyone and everything in my life, not just my recovery. I think we have to be honest where we are now and accept what we are capable of now. Not before or in the future.

There are things I am capable of doing now that I was not able to do before and I try to stay focused on those. People tell me I am doing well and it took me a minute or two before I started to believe them. I am not sure why. Maybe it is my trust issues and I am being to hard on myself. I think maybe it is that I need to let go more.

There is a plan for me and I want to know what it is but I am not privy to that information and I think I go in circles trying to figure it out.
