Again, Congrats! So proud to know you. The greatest benefit from my journey has been resilience. I fall less but I still fall and when I do, I’m back on track quicker than ever, looking for the learning in my falling or “failing”. I love having the understanding that arguing with reality, with what is, is what causes my suffering. This always gives me a choice point when I suffer to change my experience of that present, suffering moment by changing my mind, by making a different, better feeling choice that is integrity with who I am. It’s been so much more empowering to see how things are neither bad nor good when you can more quickly realize that what is happening “to” you is really happening for you. That’s my choice point in any situation or challenge I face.

Congratulations!

Congrats on 11 years, so amazing! I think the greatest benefit from my recovery so far has been showing up differently in my relationships. Well really showing up at all. I’m much more present and I feel like a better friend, daughter,etc. I’m more honest than before and certainly more dependable. It makes me feel like a much better version of myself.

Congrats again Bev!!! What an accomplishment!! With respect to my recovery, I am thankful for that early knowledge of addressing my recovery in a holistic way – mind, body, spirit. Those early experiences allow me a safe place to return to when I feel a certain part on my wellness wheel slipping away. For example – I remember cycling/spin being a huge physical component of my recovery in the early days. It was my way to not only address the physical aspects of where I needed to improve, but it was a place for me to let it all go!!!!! I got on the bike and left it there in terms of the day. I got away from it. Recently I started feeling those affects and when I examined where I am at, I realized I needed to get back to it. So I did – yesterday 🙂 It felt awesome!! Thankful for the gift of awareness and self awareness in my recovery… Thank you for the opportunity to share 🙂
