That’s okay Jane. I was solo for awhile with it too!

This week I got to exercise with my husband and we meditated together which I always enjoy! Who do you get to do your recovery practice with? Is there anyone you wish you could do more with?
-
No one really. Right now it’s just kind of a solo thing.

I am solo for everything right now Bev and Jane. I am grateful for all of you here and in the FB group! I can share with you!

I am able to do yoga and meditate often with my ex girlfriend. We have known each other for 25 years. I have also been helping her in her recovery. She had relapsed about 2 months ago but has over forty days sober. Helping her in recovery has strengthened my recovery and recovery efforts. I feel very lucky to be able to share and push each other.

You got this Courtney! Your light is so infectious. I enjoyed seeing a family photo on FB that came through my feed;) Enjoy! Feel free to reach out if you need any support with any thoughts, feelings or behaviors.

Thank you Beverly! I am back, I survived and I took away a lesson or two!!!

What did you learn? If you don’t mind sharing…

Absolutely, I think my key takeaway from my the last few days is that I get to choose who I spend my time and energy with. I do not need to expend time and energy on people I do not find myself attracted to. I let go of the personal expectation.
-
Great lessons!

Happy Monday…How do you make sure you have work/life/recovery balance?
-
Still figuring this out, trying to learn to balance my needs over putting others first.
-
It’s a difficult balance. I’ve found during my recovery though I have become much more productive outside of work. I used to just work 8 hours and feel as if that was enough for the day. Now I rarely have a day where I am not going to a meditation, taking a yoga class, playing golf or taking to my dog to the beach. I think one thing that has…[Read more]
-
I know I do not have a good balance. Most of my time is spent on my business and anything leftover is for recovery. I rarely do anything considered “fun”.

What do your weekends consist of?
-
Connecting with friends, being a little adventurous and seeing what’s going on in the city, trying new things, dinners out, reading, orangetheory fitness, time outside, my spiritual/recovery practice…
(A combo of any of the above) -
ugh… work, so eager for that to change
-
Work, and usually catching up on my sleep. I also have been in a sober bowling league for the past several months. I find it quite enjoyable, even though bowling used to be something I would always do before while drinking. It’s become part of my finding what I like and dislike now that I am sober. I also usually go to a Buddhist temple for a…[Read more]

The only thing different than during the week is church on Sunday. That is something I enjoy!

I’ve been hearing more joy in recently. It’s great to hear you pulling from that quality and creating that in your experience.

Thank you for asking, right now I am really reflecting on gratitude- where I am today and the hope that I have for the near future.

Me too Courtney. Gratitude is coming in for me as well thanks to a challenge I’m doing.

I stay intentional through a connection with joy in my process itself. It’s a source of incredible joy and meaning for me and it makes it a pleasure to engage intentionally each day.

I am part of a “Life Group” at church. This discussion group is really stretching me spiritually. There are several others in the group who are in recovery. Between this and church I am growing spiritually. And this in turn is strengthening my recovery.

You are well on your way. All is working itself out. And yes, fears and doubts can be cleared inwardly and outwardly.

Yay! Excited to have you there Jennifer. I see these calls as our opportunity to do our inner work so we can better serve others!

Bev Sartain posted a new activity comment 7 years, 5 months ago
Loved hearing your experience with this person Jennifer. As a child of an alcoholic who passed away from his drinking, I always say the greatest gift you can give your children is a sober, present and loving parent. I’m so happy you’ve found a calling that support your soul and the soul of other beings!

Awesome Chas, does the helping others with their recovery feel like a calling or something else?

Bev Sartain posted an update 7 years, 5 months ago
Have a beautiful weekend everyone! May you be the demonstration of recovery to those around you. I’m going to be spend time with my sister at her dojo today.
-
I hope you enjoyed your time with your sister! The only thing I can do to make amends to my children is to be the best role model I can be. Making a living amends.
