There is no final destination...
There is no final destination...
Sometimes I catch myself thinking....
If I moved to that place, I would be happier.
If I had more money, I would feel secure.
If I was a better partner, I wouldn't be alone.
If I just did more, I would be more.
But there is no destination, it's the journey that is worth living now.
I like where I live, it is home.
I have enough money, I am grateful.
I am healing now, a partner will appear when I'm ready.
I am doing enough, I am on the journey of sobriety and healing.
When you find yourself always thinking that the grass is greener over there.....tend to your own garden, You have arrived. Just be.
I needed to remind myself of these things tonight, there is no real destination, life is the journey.
Thanks for listening.

We hear a lot about acceptance and your post touches on that topic . Once I accepted conditions as they were - alcoholism - and took the action needed to support sobriety changes occurred. Regardless of having enough money, liking where I live or having a bad day , I remain an alcoholic. When I have a good day, I'm an alcoholic having a good day.
The journey is making sure I do what is necessary each day to support my sobriety and help others.
Good job on 4 plus months of sobriety

Love it, and 100% agree.
The day I realized my happiness would never come from anywhere outside of me was the most terrifying, yet empowering of my life.
I may want other things, but if I can't be happy without them, I will never be happy with them.

Thank you.
A friend, also in recovery posted a text written by a billionaire- who recently died in his early 50's because of a terminal condition. He shared material stuff and money mean squat- it is what we have inside, how we use 'this moment' as it is the only one we truly will ever have.
