Remember Mindfulness – feel your body from top to toes

Spiritual bond

There are more ways than one of getting sober. In
some countries they put alcoholics in jails so remote
that it’s not worth escaping. In the Western world
there is understanding but also ignorance. The AA
way is through surrender to a Higher Power.
Nobody in AA specifies what that power might be, it
is enough that it exists. This spiritual element
seems to open people so that they come together.

Addiction devastates our self-esteem. There have been
many days in the past when we looked in the mirror
and did not like what we saw. Now we can look in
the mirror and see a good person smiling back, as
poet Walt Whitman seems to do:
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume, you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me
As good belongs to you. Walt Whitman.
Like it or not, he says, there is a connection and a
bond between us all. Today I give thanks for the
bond that exists between all living things.
