In order to heal, we have to feel.
In our active addiction, most of us have used substances to numb ourselves so as not to feel anything in our lives that wasn’t going according to OUR plan.
When we enter a spiritual program of recovery, we learn that the only way to recover is to lean into the very same things we were running away from for so long.
No one has ever lived a life according to OUR plan. No matter who you are, life will have joy and sadness. Love and loss. Dark and light.
That’s called life.
When we get sober, much of our spiritual work is on complete acceptance of life on life’s terms and feeling ALL feelings good and ‘bad’.
More importantly, we change our perception of what we used to call ‘bad’.
From our ‘problems’ come our greatest lessons. From our ‘pain’ comes our greatest growth.
Just for today, be willing to accept all that comes, good and bad.
Take solace in the fact that there is a spiritual program to embrace it all.
