It’s hard to have hope all the time. To feel uplifted and always inspired for life to arrive each day. Finding that deeper, inner lightness that raises your spirit and sends you into the unknown of each sober day can be a chore. But try. There will be things that tear you down, traffic, worry, bills, relationships (relationshits), kids, courts, fines, jail time, death,… Am I getting carried away here? That is how the mind works sometimes, isn’t it? One little thing can turn into a snowball for everything. When you feel you’re at your lowest, remember that you’re still going up. Don’t let that one thing become everything. Don’t make mountains out of molehills. You may have troubles, but take a look back and see how far you’ve come. See how far that small piece of hope you grabbed has led you. You are further away than you thought you were.

Reflections

How far have you come? Where would you be if you didn’t try to get sober?

Daily Challenge
