Online Class Wisdom
In Sobriety, I am changing in ways I discover daily. The simple fact that I have embraced the idea that I have been addicted to addictive substances has been the most significant shift and frankly, has liberated me enough to be able to do the deep digging that needs to be done to finally become free of my addictions. It is not an easy road but it is a road I intend to stay on. I have come to know and trust my fellow travelers and can't imagine doing this alone. I find that I am rediscovering my spirituality, I have always leaned towards more eastern philosophies and indigenous teaching...remembering so many years ago when I was more grounded. It is comforting to find that ground once again. Feeling pretty darn grateful this morning!

"I can totally see how kindness towards self is necessary before we can practice kindness towards others. It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to make someone smile by offering them a smile. The kindness offered through active listening is especially powerful. I so appreciate the kindness of our sober community in listening to me and offering love and support" -Regina- .
I feel like have fully embraced a couple of things on this journey: 1) I have been addicted to addictive substances and even though I have stopped, I need to be ever mindful that this is "my thing" as we say and it will always be my thing regardless of how much time passes and therefore must stay mindful and not become complacent. 2) Life can be so much better without the chains of an addiction holding me back. When I say so much better that is not to say all is sunshiny, rainbows, and unicorns day in and day out...some days are absolutely shitty but not as shitty as when I was numbing myself out.
