"Sometimes we save to disconnect to reconnect with what matters."
Today I've been super busy with life. I'm trying out the blogger mobile app to see if I could still blog while I am on the go. It's not looking like the meme is loading but I guess I will see how it all turned out later. I choose this meme because it resonates the daily meditation for me.
Although personally I feel like I have to agree to disagree with today's reading... it does not match me. My personal integrity is still intact and it is the only thing I've managed to keep and maintain in this journey of recovery, I don't lie because I can't remember them to keep them straight and feel like it's a waste of brain power, I prospered in my career and personal life, I was happy, independent and my isolation and loss of relationships and self didn't happen until I choose to get sober. I guess todays reading does ring true for many of us alcoholics and addicts from the stories that are shared in the halls of anonymous fellowship.
Reconnect with your life. Live and let live. Let go and let God, as you know it. Blessed be.
Update: the blog publish failed on the blogger app. Didn't even save it as a draft. I'm posting from chrome mobile.

Meme of the Day: 23JAN17
"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.

"Stars can't shine without a little darkness;
So shine on."

I actually made this meme the other day so I could upload it to Zedge as a wallpaper because I was uber bored. I found the saying to be inspirational because it's simply true and serves as a beautiful reminder that the darkness can represent the trials and tribulations of life; while you and your higher power are the light...shine on (live and let live). I can't remember where I heard or read this quote originally. However, as an addict in recovery, I can attest that our brains tend to focus on the negative side of life and takes the self-hating/self-shaming to a whole other level that can take years of therapy to undo. However, without that darkness...the light wouldn't shine so bright. We wouldn't need to illuminate our paths to guide us out because we wouldn't be able to see any path out at all, there would not be anything to differentiate the contrasting elements of light and darkness. It would be all light or all darkness. If you ever experienced the hell of active addiction, that is the kind of darkness you don't want to be permanently engulfed in. Plus, it is kind of like the old adage my Nana used to say, "You can't really know joy, unless you have known sorrow."
