Recovery becoming Normal

31 days sober:

Today's post is going to be short.  I read +Leo Babauta's post on Zenhabits.net about how "changing habits, at its core, is simply a process of changing what's normal for you."  This line resonated with me and it really put into perspective how much of a change recovery is.  If I let my life of recovery become normal to me, then the greater part of the struggle against lust is over.  The biggest thing is to make my dailies (daily's) become normal as well...that will ensure that my life is becoming to be a life of recovery.

I read an interesting definition of lust today as well:

  "Lust...is the result of being ungrateful for what you have and choosing to covet or burn with passion for something that is forbidden."
- The Love Dare

That makes me redefine many of the times when I think I have lusted and many of the times when I haven't thought I was lusting.

My life is one of constant learning and change.  That is good...it keeps me alive!

This is my daily check-in and this is my hope for another 24 hours!

-Grateful and Hopeful
