in each other.
made you click!
yes i was offering up a juicy and salacious bit of click-bait here and proudly accept that for a **godless heathen,** such as myself, it is not something one might expect. i am, however, fond of twisting the unexpected into something that makes perfect sense, and hope to do something similar today. before i get started though:
moving forward, sometimes it seems that my peers believe that carrying the message is all about preaching and telling others what they NEED to do, is the way to carry the message. other quietly tell what they feel and relate the whole recovery experience to what it is that they have found, never saying a thing about what they think “YOU” need to do. having been on both sides of the coin, and mostly somewhere in between, i have found a great deal in the comfort of my FAITH, that this program of recovery works for me, when i all it to. the POWER that fuels my recovery, allows me to get past the surety and arrogance of others and hear what they are trying to say, even when i feel “lpreachedto” or dismissed because my notions of what is, do not conform to those of someone else. that is most often the case, especially when i interact with my peers who have found religion. what i NEED to realize is that my path, as secure and as comforting as it has become, is not the path that everyone, or even anyone, can follow. i like to think i have all of the answers, when the truth is i have a few of the answers and know that there is so much more i need to learn. what i see as recovery in my peers, is GOD and the FAITH i have that any addict can live this program of recovery and thrives, is no more or less important that the FAITH my peers may have in their brand of spirituality. it is the POWER that fuels my recovery that connects me with them and i would hope allows them to connect with me.
it is time to move along and after rambling a bit, i am not quite sure whether or not i brought this around to my original assertion. life however does go on and i need to look to the next right thing to do, which is probably to wrap this up and pay attention to work.
