Good morning,
This morning I am doing some self reflecting and looking at my relationships with others, which in turn makes me look at my relationship with myself.
My meditation this morning was about self compassion and treating myself as I would a dear friend.
Being sober is a selfish program, but it also emphasizes how important it is to give back what we have so freely been given. I believe I tend to put road blocks up and stop myself from reaching out in the way I need to to be to release myself from some of my character defects.
However, today is new day and I can practice what I preach so to speak. Early on when I got sober the old timers emphasized the act of calling 5 people everyday. Whew! That is a tall order for this alcoholic, but it is time for me to crawl out of my shell and do the next right thing to stay sober one day at a time.
Yesterday was a fun day having lunch with friends and going to visit a friend who is struggling with some of the same stuff I am, healing from surgery.
Today I have OT for my hand and I will make an effort to reach out to other women and ask how I can help.
Today will be what I make it as I always say, and today I am going to try harder to shed this depression. I also have an interview with a new therapist; I pray it works out. Anyways my gratitude for today is for my good buddy and how she is always there for me; I am grateful for this new day and the new experiences that await me. I am so extremely grateful for this forum I get to participate in everyday; it makes such a difference in my daily routines, which I have never really been good at, having routines to keep myself accountable.
I am grateful for you and my life today and the willingness I have to do better everyday. Have a good hump day. I am going to get going on day, walking the talk.
💜🙏🌅🤗
