We shall not cease from exploration

And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time. ∼T.S. Elliot

Vigilance is the catalyst that fuels recovery. It creates the ability to observe and keep moving forward even when we aren’t sure where the path leads. We must be watchful of the actions of others and follow their example when it works. We must also be alert to avoid the pitfalls that have impeded our fellow travelers. We must be aware of our inner guidance and turn to it when our intuition beckons. We must explore our new life with intent. For this is being vigilant. It pushes us to do our recovery work when inattention and negligence might otherwise hinder our growth. Vigilance is the driving force behind our exploration in recovery, so that every day we may know recovery for the first time.

My recovery is not a destination.

It is a vigilant journey.

I'm new at it, but I think this is the most exciting adventure I've ever been on.
