to the Weekenders
Where’s this good place this weekend?
What do we need to make a place we’re comfortable with?
I used to think it was in a bottle. Everything was wonderful with a bottle or so I thought! Until it wasn’t and then there didn’t seem enough bottles to make it wonderful anymore.
Being sober, I realise a wonderful place starts with me, inside me.
I read a post on SR from Ann (thank you
)about our mind and where we chose to be. I could relate to it.
‘In my mind are many dwellings.
Each of the dwellings we create ourselves – the house of anger, the house of despair, the house of self pity, the house of indifference, the house of negative, the house of positive, the house of hope, the house of joy, the house of peace, the house of enthusiasm, the house of cooperation, the house of giving.
Each of these houses we visit each day.
We can stay in any house for as long as we want.
We can leave these mental houses any time we wish.
We create the dwelling, we stay in the dwelling, we leave the dwelling whenever we wish. We can create new rooms, new houses. Whenever we enter these dwellings, this becomes our world until we leave for another. What world will we live in today’?
How about a good place for the weekend?
If this is your first weekend sober, or many, come join us for support and chat...as we know the weekends can be a struggle sometimes. (We’re here all week too!)
