Some days you’re the windshield, some days you’re the bug. ∼Mary Chapin Carpenter

Having the option to make different choices, when meeting the situations in our daily lives, is what makes recovery interesting. Some days we are on top of everything that rears its ugly head, feeling cheered on by our Higher Power. Other days, we are under the covers unable to peek into the light of day. Some days we are the shining ones who inspire others and. at times, it is others who must drag us out of our misery and to a meeting. No matter what the situation though, if we face it honestly, incorporating what we have learned from our home group, from literature, and from our sponsor, we can progress to a greater understanding of ourselves and others. From this, we can appreciate that we are neither the windshield nor the bug, but the guy with the squeegee.

Being my best self enables me to clean the bugs off the windshield. It is the reward for all the “work” I do.

I've come to love life, and to face it daily, however difficult, non-chemically. Isn't that great?
