Building something new!

A firm believer in the suggestion that recovery isn't about getting back to how you were before, it's about building something new! Although who said it, I've no idea...that said it resonates with something Seneca said,' Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.'

Which adds to and quite firmly endorses the part Stoic philosophy has played in my recovery both from my actual drinking but perhaps and more importantly, life itself which is the whole point of Stoic philosophy...

My thanks to all who've contributed thus far to this post as they to have endorsed this.
