Here’s the irony of aging in recovery for me: 5 years ago I was in great physical condition, but my spirit was ugly and decrepit. Today, I’m more aged on the outside, but a lot more beautiful and younger on the inside. I’ll take that trade.
When I gaze at the moon it staggers me. It has from a very young age. I realize how unimportant everything truly is. Except that here we are, hurling through space, caught up in a world of crap when we should be caught up in each other.
I am slowly learning that my opinions are not truths. They are just opinions. And sometimes, they are better off left unsaid. And until I can express them as opinions they should remain only my truths.
If you look anywhere online you will not find the statement ‘Consideration Before Condemnation.’ That’s because I made it up 6 months ago. Yup, I’m taking credit for it. CBC has helped me to remember to stop and think before I act/react. It’s a huge reason why I have made so much progress in my recovery. Try it, I think you will be surprised at the results.
