When we are new in recovery, things are new to us and they become ingrained in us I think. They become a part of our lives. Sometimes when I am going through rough patches, I go back to basics, do the things I did when I first came into recovery, and I think most of those things are still in place, except for the fact that I don't get out to meetings like I did then. The people at the recovery sites I go to are my recovery family. There is a program if we choose to use it. My first boyfriend in recovery, celebrated his one year and he had a priest speak at his anniversary. The priest didn't become a priest until he had been in recovery for a few years. I said to him, after he told me that he had never had more than 11 months, but he kept going back out. I said, "You didn't have a program." He said, "Yes, I had a program, I chose not to use it. We have freedom of choice. Just for today, I choose to be clean and sober. I choose the freedom of sobriety, instead of hanging on by my finger tips. Like this little guy, I opened my arms and soaked it all up. I was very sick, and each day was just a little bit more healing, of my mind, body, and spirit. ![]()
