Random Thought for the Night
Permalink  

Living with the family disease of alcoholism is like going down a mountain... pretty easy to keep slipping further down.  Recovering from this same disease is like going back up the mountain.  It can be done... but it takes endurance and time and having the proper knowledge to know when to take a breather (self-care), to keep your water (tools) with you and use it (them) appropriately.  And too, the further up you go... don't forget to stop and enjoy the scenery... there can be some really breathtaking views along the way (aha moments)!!!

I like this analogy...especially stopping to look at the scenery.  Reminds us to live in the present, which is so important for me in my recovery.

An uplifting read and sweet reminder to stop and smell those roses along the way...  
(or to just *breathe*)
I thank you for the randomness
(lol, yeah, that sounded silly)
