Remember Mindfulness – send positive thoughts
Contentment
People say contentment in recovery happens in
stages – at first sobriety can be a confusing time
when we don’t quite know what’s happening but at
least we’re sober; then our mind and body grow
fitter, but we are still a bit anxious; then after
several months we relax, feel the power, and start to
enjoy our new life. Healthcare professionals talk
of five elements needed for true wellbeing:
- Make connections
- Take action
- Take notice
- Keep learning
- Give.
A Twelve Step programme would meet all these
requirements. Do I fully understand the path to
feeling better than well?
All the above elements require effort. They will not
just happen. Many us have been so trapped in our
role of helpless victim and are not good at taking
action. But nothing changes if nothing changes, as
they say in AA. We must ask for help. Today I thank
God for leading me to a contented recovery.
