Sometimes I despise recovery…..

Oh I hear the rebuttals already….let me finish naysayers……

I don’t like to admit when I am wrong and fall short in practicing the principles….. ( so stop 🛑 doing those things), I’m working on them.

If you have been in “ recovery” for any length of time and can’t admit that….. you are a liar.

No one wants to be rigorously honest all the time , not even the Pope.
So practicing the program and not my program requires me to give an honest assessment of how I behave and when I’m wrong. The problem is always me….  I don’t like that either…. But it is what it is.
I’m sober for 22.9 years and I despise recovery sometimes…… but….. not for long.

Sobriety isn’t always comfortable but it saved my life….and for that I’m grateful….. most of the time……
