Sobriety is a long and winding path, and none of us ever really knows where it’s leading.
One long-recovering sex addict loves to tell the story of his 90th day of sobriety, when he went to a meeting to take a chip and had another addict say, “That’s really great. I wish you a long, slow recovery.” Well, the now old-timer did not like this one bit. He wanted to be well right now. But that’s just not how recovery works. Recovery is a journey. It is meant to be enjoyed. We should take our time and revel in each tiny success. We don’t have to be well by tomorrow. In fact, we don’t ever have to be completely well. The true goal of recovery is to do life better today than yesterday.
Task for Today
Take a few minutes to stop and enjoy what you’ve accomplished in your recovery.
