Facing Life on Life’s Terms

When we get sober, we no longer numb out life’s problems.

We actually feel our feelings for the first time, and often times, for most of us, this can be very overwhelming.

Take solace in knowing that you are now facing life on life’s terms.

When you face life on life’s terms and find solutions to challenges as opposed to running away from them, you get better at life.

Will it be uncomfortable at first? Absolutely.

During this time, it is very important to reach out to other people who have been in recovery and have some sober reference.

These are the people who will get you through these challenging times.

In unity there is strength.

My sponsor and other like minded addicts who have some clean time play a crucial role in my facing life on life's terms. I always thought "I got this". That was one of my famous sayings, but I realized after a few trips to jail, living in my car, and losing complete freedom that I don't got this, alone. It's more like we got this, I reach out when I'm hit with a situation that I'm not used to facing without the use of drugs and I can get through it. A lot of the cliches I hear in my fellowship also plays through my head all the time to help me get by.

Not rejecting my feelings is how I got clean, and it's also how I resemble any amount of sobriety or sanity in my life. If I start to reject my feelings, I know a way I can get rid of em for good, and I'll want to go there again. But I don't have to. It's as simple as letting my soul speak to my body, and letting my mind speak to my soul.
