Like you said, Lexie--the qualities we learn to cultivate in recovery are likely going to stand us in good stead
throughout life, and especially in old age when we simply will not be able to do as we always did/as we prefer to do, for physical or financial reasons.
Flexibility, acceptance, humility, detachment, gratitude, taking responsibility for ourselves while still not taking ourselves too seriously--it's all gonna be even MORE important, I think...
