Today we talk about, “You Have Arrived!”
Charlotte Eriksson said “I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I'm born to leave.”
At the end of my drinking and using, I felt worthless, all my past glory was gone, I didn’t feel like I belonged anywhere, and there was nothing left to celebrate.
I was so desperate and damaged when I arrived in the rooms, that I listened to people with all my might, as if my life depended on it. Thankfully, the people I met listened to me with all their might too. They made me feel important, like I had finally arrived.
That acceptance, support, and love they showed me, carried me through the challenges of early recovery; especially taking the steps, cleaning up my past, and finding my place in this new community I had been dropped into.
As I look back over my years of sobriety, I see a bunch of different plateaus I’ve “arrived” at. But the brightest and most fulfilling, are always the ones where I was surrounded by the fellowship, active in the steps and doing as much service as I possibly could.
Wherever you are on your journey, jump in the middle of us and get busy! Then dream, create, be daring, be brave, but most importantly, be the you, you’ve always wanted to be and don't care about what people say. Because wherever you are, you have arrived…..
Today we’ll close with a brief, relaxing meditation.
Aloha 😊
