Great points. For me, pursuing recovery after a lot of years is a lifestyle and a commitment to continuous improvement. I've been part of one 12 Step group for about 45 years. In almost every meeting, someone says, 'gee, I've read this a thousand times but I didn't see it quite this way before'. We are students of recovery in many ways and, I believe, that makes us better people in every respect.
Friends, your words are very timely as I have felt a huge shift in my sobriety in the last 9 months or so. Coincidentally around the time that my son was born. Either way, I really started getting curious about the "where to now?" and the "what next?" in my journey. My recovery is woven into the fabric of everything I do in my life, and yet some days I don't even think about it. But, I never forget where I came from. I honor and cherish all the parts of Kezia who brought me to the 42 year old woman I am today. Thank you both for helping me feel seen 💗

Beautiful, from both of you! Allison, I love kintsugi! It’s such a perfect metaphor for your ongoing work with sobriety.
Thanks ladies for a beautiful Saturday morning read. Filled me up to start my day ♥️
Love this, Caroline: "And yet, while it is a part of my story, it’s not the only chapter."
On a separate note, the quote that always circles through my head: "He today; I tomorrow." I think we need to embrace that more.
