H O P E = Having Only Positive Expectations...
To eat bread without hope is still slowly to starve to death.
If we exist without hope we will surely lose our hold on life.
Those of us in our addictions without love and intimacy move step-by-step into despair. We retreat into our little worlds of selfish gratification. Gradually, we forget what it means to be truly alive.
If we look around at people in recovery, we are struck by the sparkle in their eyes, the color in their cheeks, the spring in their step. they have come back to life.
They have learned how to care again and to be unafraid of closeness.
They have found life again in all its vibrancy and promise of change and renewal.
This kind of energy is contagious and forms one of the many advantages of working together in a group.
We see people change and come back to life. We learn how lonely they were when they sought only their own pleasures.
Their recovery touches our lives and inspires us to come back out of the darkness of our addictions into the clear light of day.
My life is changed through contact with others in recovery.
I am sharing this from my morning meditation.....Enjoy.
Recovery opens doors, and gives us our life back..
