There are going to be people, places
and things that will put us to the test
every single day. They, it, whatever
force is out there will try to ruffle our
feathers and it is up to us in recovery
to arm ourselves with a strong recovery
program and help us, teach us ways to
avoid them, work pass them.
I am tested often, yet I know I cant
allow those people, places or things
to come any where's near me or mess
with what ive worked so hard to establish
for myself and well being.
My recovery foundation is made
up of tools to help ward off negativity,
misunderstanding, and lots of other
things that stand in the way of my
usefulness to others, my serenity,
peace of mind etc.
I learned that I cant control people,
places or things in this universe and
that folks are entitled to speak their
mind if they want. That they can feel
any way they want because it is none
of my business.
Normally if I don't agree with people,
places or things around me, I have to
simply walk away or remove myself
from the situation.
I don't know if any thing ive shared
helps or not, but hope this finds you
well and ready to conquer that demon
of addiction.
Support and understanding is on
your side. Stay strong and sober.
