I hated the holidays as a kid, when I was using, and if I’m being honest, the first couple of years I was clean I didn’t like them so much either.
These are the things that bring me joy today. Family, friends, connection, love, awareness and the ability to practice spiritual principles in my life.
I think about how getting clean allowed me to move from hopelessness to hope, from an empty heart to a heart filled with gratitude.
I say this with every ounce of my being; staying clean is one of the best things I have ever done because it’s given me the opportunity to really live my life.
I didn't even know if this was a reunion I wanted or was ready for but life had other plans and the universe works in its own way at it's own time, as long as I'm willing to step out of the way and let it happen. #LetGoLetGod
As I reflect on the last 7 years, I find the high and low points in my recovery have been equally consuming and memorable
Getting into service during the pandemic showed me a different side of recovery. Like anytime people enter service, I saw that there were many opportunities to give back to a community and program freely given to me.
As a community we’re stronger and more resilient than we ever imagined. Remember that you are no longer alone, no matter what.
Above all else, I believe the most important thing is to try to be kind to one another. We are put in NA to save each other’s lives, and how we treat one another matters.
Service I know for sure has been a huge part of staying sane through all of this. I am so grateful for NA and the way we've all come together through such uncertain times.
