Sometimes the "world" people, places,
things in it are way to loud. Too noisey.
Too much drama. Recovery has taught
me that it's okay to be still. To be quiet.
To keep life simple. Simple can be a HUGE
word in recovery, yet very effective.
I don't always have to be doing something.
If I can accomplish one simple, little task
each day, then ive done my job, even if
it means to not pick up a drink.
I like simple. Simplicity. Taking time
to enjoy the wonderful gifts provided
to us, that surround us. Like nature.
Like the weather. The flowers. The
smallest of little creatures. A spider
who has fallen in the pool. Or a frog.
They deserve life just like we do. So
each morning I walk around the pool
saving the littles lives. What a joy it
is to do the simpliest thing in sobriety.
Coming here to SR even with 23 yrs.
of recovery to read the many shares
of those just beginning their own journeys
in recovery and passing on my own ESH
experiences, strengths and hopes with
them gives me so much joy and purpose
in life and sobriety.
Having a purpose in life makes the dullest
days in life have more meaning.
