Hola Sober April

Let's take a look back

April, 2022

What are your sober rituals daily? Every morning I spend the first 15 or so minutes in mediation, either repeating the affirmation, reading the Bible, or sitting silently to appreciate another day of life. I also do pray quite frequently and maintain a list of thanksgiving, intercession, and praise to help guide my prayer life. Have you foundmeditation, podcasts, or books helpful in. recovery? Meditation has been essential for me. It’s a reset when I’m off course, it’s a boost when I am weak, it’s uplifting when I am beaten, and it’s reassuring when I am on target. I don’t listen to many podcasts to be honest, and do not read as often as I would like, and when I do, it’s typically a biography or theological in nature. -September 2021-

Why go public? "I will never share anything or the names of a person from my program or meetings. I will not share publicly, which program I am in. This is to protect my privacy and the program in the event that I ever relapse. However, I will share my personal story and this is why… A person shared their story with me & now I’m on my way to recovery. If sharing & being vulnerable in transparency can help just one person, then it was worth putting me out there & sharing my struggles with the world. It’s important for others to know they are not alone." -September 2021-
