Adapting to Change

8 minutes

When I was drinking and using, I didn't like change. Unless of course, the change included a promotion, a bag of money, or something 'complimentary'.

Then, when I finally arrived in the rooms, I was relieved to hear I only had to change one thing. Unfortunately, that one thing, was everything!

All these years later I've learned there will always be change, and resistance to change. But I also learned that change can be a very wonderful thing!

The most successful people I know are those who accept and adapt to constant change. This adaptability requires a degree of flexibility and humility I can only get close to through consistent practice of the 12 step program of recovery.

Today I am grateful to all those who taught me me how to successfully navigate change. Thank you for also showing me I no longer have to change the world, I only have to change myself!

We close with a breathing meditation to help bring us peace, happiness, and freedom.
