Authenticity
Authenticity. We all have it in shades of grey is my thinking. Most things in a well lived life are not seriously black and white. Even sobriety, yeah?
Quitting is black and white it seems obvious enough. Is sobriety? A lot of grey there when we take to account the many backstories which present differing experiences as to what is an authentic sobriety across the board.
Is ego (self) black and white? Can't be because if so then we couldn't learn from our mistakes, there would be no curve, no continuum moving from wrong to right, no progression, no growth. Otherwise we could be nothing more than robotic machines, heh heh.
It follows sobriety is also shades of grey.
Authenticity in sobriety must then also be shades of grey, yeah?
Food for thought.
