Treasure Island or Robinson<br>Crusoe are good and gripping examples. We are the<br>heroes of our own life\u2019s adventure story. For those in<br>recovery, each story has the elements of adventure \u2013<br>we undergo trials but get home wiser and richer, in<br>spirit, if not at the bank. It has been a voyage of<br>discovery. But there is a sequel because our new life<br>in sobriety is another great adventure. Am I making<br>the most of my second great adventure story, my<br>voyage of recovery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-e0cb4f64c8d531c357d3775e3dc593af\"><strong><br>Adventure is not a word that features in the indexes<br>of many books of daily reflection. That\u2019s a pity. The<br>old meaning of the word is said to be a \u2018wonder\u2019<br>then later \u2018a remarkable occurrence\u2019. Recovery is<br>that too. I grasp my recovery with both hands<br>because it is a precious thing.
