Took a long time in recovery to learn and accept that 'Busy' can become an addiction. It is another word for 'Workaholic' so busy doing, we don't have time for the important things in life, like staying clean and sober. SLIP - Sobriety (soundness of mind) loses its priority.

To busy to look at ourselves, too busy looking and caretaking others, to take time for ourselves and work on our own recovery. It is a one day at a time program, and recovery doesn't stop, it is new every morning.

How can I share recovery if I don't know myself. What kind of message do we share if we don't like ourselves and haven't done the work in order to recover. For me the Steps are not a one time things, some days, I need all 12.
