▪︎reworking an ever revolving recovery

As I'm nearing towards my one year mark; I've been observing my thoughts during the highs and lows. Some days I'm elated and content; some nights I'm doleful and ill at ease. Learning how to adapt to changes is a constant effort and I tend to divagate when adversity arises. I wonder if my life will always be a constant playwright or is that more so how I choose it to be?

write the story.
push your hands into the dirtiest parts of yourself.
take the rot & decay & turn it into nourishment & life.
water it & sing to it & show it sunlight.
grow a beautiful garden from your aching & teach yourself how to thrive from it.
write your story

Journaling is the best. You’re the most philosophical person on this platform. Keep sharing that wisdom.

AA seems to be quite favorable amongst the crew and I'm pleased that program works for those who choose it :grinning:
I am happy with my choice to walk a different path on my journey through recovery. I have my support and know when to lean on them in times of despair.

... I like to view my journey as an ongoing play. An orchestra of sorts; filled with intermissions as I go ...

Idk of I'd agree with that, I just think alot.

My hands are still on my dirty place, I forgot everything else you said?:rofl:

Now you’ve inspired me to start journaling again! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I used to write poetry and started up again.

Thinking can also get me into trouble. For me, when the subject matter is negative/out of my control or I'm heading down a scary rabbit hole- I pause. It's intermission time :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: stretch potty break snack time.
Idk, I suppose I think once we learn how to work and better understand how we think, the more we have control over how we react/act. :clap: thank you for your input, as I believe AA is a great foundation to start the bare basics of how one can overcome their addiction. A guide of sorts. THEN, it's up to the individual to learn how to customize the program that best fits their needs/style. (Learned that from someone neat)
