Today is my 3 months sober Milestone. Although getting sober has been harder than I could’ve imagined. I am thankful I have made it this far. I like to share a bit of insight with each milestone. So below is a bit of insight from my three months.
Change.
A word I have feared my whole life.
How could such a simple word hold such power?
Every moment, every second things are changing before your eyes.
People
Places
Things
...it's inevitable
I often feared changed because it's unknown.
With change can come loss, sorrow, and uncomfort.
Change can also bring strength, hope, and peace.
When talking about change I often refer to the season of fall.
You look around and begin to see the leaves are changing. As the leaves change, the trees begin to shed them. By the time winter approaches the trees have shed all their leaves.
Although the tree may have had great loss. This loss is only preparing it for the abundant life it is about to have.
The tree may be bare, cold, and uncomfortable. Yet there it stands tall before you.
Strong.
Resilient.
Silent.
In the midst of change.
As the tree begins to see the spring sun shine. It begins to grow it's new leaves, prepare for new life, and rejoices.
In the midst of change and transition you are the tree.
Stand tall.
Stand still.
Stand silent.
Patiently..patiently waiting for your new leaves to grow. Your new life awaits you. Just have faith.
