I KEEP LEARNING............
The people that have helped me the most, are the ones who were honest with me, don't always agree with me, or cosign my bullshit. Not the ones that always agree with me, or let me stay on the pity pot. Yes, I get mad at them sometimes, at the time, but, I know they care, because they are risking our friendship to be honest with me, & to help me, not enable me. But then, I have an open mind, & I want to stay sober, & more, I want quality sobriety, I want recovery. I appreciate someone who helps me cut thru the old beliefs, the old behavior, the old everything. Recovery hurts sometimes. Sometimes I feel like I have nothing to stand on, when I'm cutting away at the old stuff. What is there left? Where am I going? There always is something to stand on, or as that saying goes, I am taught to fly. But it is uncomfortable for awhile cuz it's unfamiliar. I think when I'm uncomfortable, I'm changing, I'm not sure I'm s'pose to be comfortable, cuz then, I'm in the familiar. I appreciate the people who challenge my thinking, & my beliefs, & my behavior. My mind & heart are evermore open to challenges. I keep learning, & that's a beautiful thing.Labels: challenges, familiar, learning, recovery, unfamiliar
