I take time for rest and reflection - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

MajestyJo · 05-03-2015, 12:26 AM

I live this, it is how I live my life. I remember many year ago, hearing a woman say that she was grateful for a meditation group; because she didn't have time in her busy life for meditation. I had to take time for meditation or I wouldn't have a life.

I do have to admit to thinking, "How do you stay sober? That is why you are like you are. There is sober and there is sobriety." She was very hyper, controlling (it takes one to know one), and sometimes I found her to be abrasive. I did play bridge with her a few times. She had at least 10 more years in recovery than I did. That was my bad, as they say, "Let it begin with me." Me taking my inventory, not hers. When I am resting and reflecting, I need to remember that it is also a program of reflection, what I see in others is being mirrored from within me.
