Remember Mindfulness – feel your body from top to toes

Maintenance

Maintenance can be done at any time, but it must happen. Sometimes if you’re really busy you might forget to check your car – tyres, oil, lights and so forth. If you let things slide too much, the car becomes a problem. Eventually it may become downright dangerous. The analogy with addiction recovery is obvious. Maintenance can seem a bit of a chore sometimes, but it helps to view it positively. It is time spent helping us to continue enjoying the wellbeing and contentment that we already have, not a struggle to save us from relapsing. Taking a few moments to ensure we are spreading the message, doing service, making amends and taking personal inventory are all that is required, so we are in the best possible shape to continue our journey. Am I making time for regular maintenance checks?

Maintenance is not something exclusive to recovery and to motor cars. Other things requiring maintenance include physical health, friendships and beliefs. Little and often is the key to smooth running because you never know what challenges there may be around the corner. The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining. John F Kennedy. I know that my recovery plan must include the commitment to keep it in good repair.
