If your life ended tomorrow, what would you regret not doing? If this were the last day of your life, would you spend it the way you’re spending today? ∼Oprah Winfrey

Once we stop creating trauma and drama in our lives, which is a direct result of practicing principles, our daily life can take on an air of calmness that may seem dull. We sometimes arrive at a point in recovery where we feel stagnant. We strove for so long to get chemical free, which is now the basis and pivotal point of our lives. In the beginning, getting and staying clean was traumatic, dramatic, and took a great deal of our energy. Once we don’t have be on high alert at all times, we may find ourselves asking, “Is this all there is?” The answer is, “No, it’s not.” At our own pace, we add unfamiliar activities, face different challenges, make additional friends, and take new directions without letting go of our principles. We decide what the regrets would be if we died tomorrow, and we add them to our activities list today.

I do not forget to really enjoy myself because

this moment is about to be over.

Recovery has more to offer me than simply being chemical free. This spiritual path gives my life meaning, purpose and joy.
