Never Alone in Recovery



9 Days Sober:

My sponsor sent me this quote a little bit ago.  “No man is an island.” – John Donne

As I think about what this means this is what comes to mind.   I am never alone.  I always have at least the support of God in my life if nothing else.  I’m very lucky because I have the support of my girlfriend as well as the support of my loving family.  I have the support of all of those who go to the SA groups, wherever they may meet.  No matter where I go, I always have someone to rely on!

Having realized that I need to not be afraid of reaching out whenever I am in need.  I know that any of the people that go to the SA group are more than willing to listen to me and help me and I know that the others in my life are willing to listen.  

Today there was a slight misunderstanding between me and my girlfriend and it really bothered me how much it affected me.  We talked it out and everything was great afterwards, but still…I hope I can overcome these feelings of defensiveness and hurt whenever something happens that, in the words of the Joker, “isn’t according to plan.”

This is my daily check-in and I’m praying for another 24 hours!

-Grateful and Hopeful
