"When you eat healthy and exercise for one day and expect your summer body to just be there when you look down."
I made this meme this morning after reading the daily mediation from Just for Today. I thought it was fitting. Maintenance. You don't get the desired results in recovery without putting in the work and then when that initial work is inputted, you still have to fight the complacency and keep up with maintenance to stay on track with your program. You can't undo years of abuse and neglect you and the way you lived life in active addiction done to your self (body, mind, and spirit) in a few months. True, those first few months take a whole lot of work to get but that is just scratching the surface of what really tends to anchor you in pursing your addiction actively. To a lot of us, we don't want to deal with it...it's why we needed the escape and the release in the first place and some of us may not even know that much. Rome wasn't built in a day. In Christian based religions even God, took seven days to create the world. Scientist document evolution over a long time line. So take this 24 and do a little maintenance on your body, mind and spirit. Your tomorrow self will most likely thank you.
