Sometimes sobriety and support meetings can feel like a chore. They can feel repetitive and purposeless when our lives start to normalize. I can lose gratitude when life gets fuller, more joyful, and busier. I can feel torn between enjoying life and honoring the practices that got me here. This shift is a red flag, even though it’s also a sign of growth. Revisiting the notion of emotional sobriety every week invites me to look deeper. Am I still living with intention? Am I still living in honesty and humility? When the spark of inspiration fades, service can carry the torch for our recovery. Even when I don’t feel like I need a meeting today, I know someone else might need me.This is where practicing the principles becomes a lifestyle of getting out of self and seeing my role in the world around me. It’s in how I interact with my kids, friends, and family. My recovery fellowship doesn’t revolve around me. It revolves around us. It’s a “we program”, and if I can’t show up for me, I can show up for you. Showing up becomes less about receiving and more about being a steady presence for someone else, just like others were for us in the beginning.Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and YouTube.  Visit my Etsy shop, Recovery Upcycling. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RecoveryUpcycling To learn more about vestibular disorders visit https://vestibular.org #EmotionalSobriety #RecoveryJourney #12StepRecovery #SoberLife #LivingThePrinciples #ShowUpAnyway #WeProgram #SobrietySupport #ServiceInRecovery #GratitudeInAction
