Has it been a Year of Growth?
Growth
As any year draws to a close, we should reflect on how we have grown in sobriety. We should also identify changes during the year that enabled us to overcome bad habits and to move closer to better patterns of living.
Though we never are guaranteed favorable outcomes, we should always remember that sobriety is its own reward. We want a full life of course, but it must begin with a decision to seek and to maintain sobriety at all costs.
We find that with sobriety, lots of other problems seem to solve themselves. Even if they don't we have the tools to move forward and to achieve goals that always eluded us while we were drinking. Every year in sobriety is a year of growth.
I'll be conscious today of recent improvements I've made in my life and all my affairs. With sobriety, these improvements will go on for a lifetime. ~ Recovery Readings
Yes, last year was a year of growth for each of us, and may we continue that growth through 2011.
Chill, congrats on your amazing year! You have grown so much since I first met you on the boards a little over a year ago when you hovered mostly on on the "What We're Listening To" threads. It has been amazing watching you unfold, almost as a butterfly from its confining cocoon.
Happy, UNHUNG, New Year's Day, to all!
