Being in recovery for me is like a journey home to where the real me resides.
No guilt
No shame
Of course there is fear but there can be no courage without fear!
Self worth is strengthening
My gratitude is real
It's more than a feeling...
I once heard Clancy XA speaker.org
Say that the 12 steps (eventually if we do them) will give us in a healthy empowering sense what alcohol/addiction gives us instantly.
By applying myself to a daily course of action which for me is a relationship with a Higher Power energy
I grow and as I grow I develop and as I develop I mature and as I mature I heal and as I heal I get stronger and as I get stronger I uncover and discover who and what I really am.
Which is for me a capable loving caring human being.
