Oct. 17, 2020 - Readings in Recovery: Step by Step

Step by Step
Saturday, Oct. 17, 2020

Today, no regrets, grief, sense of loss or the bitter from the sweet of what I must leave behind in my journey toward sobriety. Some people and places that were a significant, even enabling part of my life in my drinking days, may no longer have a place in my new life in recovery, and I must be prepared that I may have to cut some losses in order to attain greater gains. If I am reluctant to move on without someone or something that were an influential part of my life as a drinking alcoholic, may I be able to remove myself from the emotional and use logic to ask if maintaining old ties is worth the risk to my recovery. If so, I have no choice but to move on although I will never be alone. Today, if my sobriety requires it, I may have to make the tough choices between what once was seemingly precious to me and moving toward something even more precious - recovery. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2020
