At what age does someone go from having potential to having wasted that potential? It is not easy for me to take a day off. Self-care is one thing, just chilling around my house and turning off my brain is another. Here are MY keys to being in the moment.

You are done "wasting" time. You are sober now and you just bought back all that time from the future you would've been using.

Only the self, the ego, cares about the future or the past - the present moment is all that really matters so work focusing on that.

Get work done when you can and get some healing time in for you, your circle and work when it is time for that.

It is important that you heal, recover, and follow your program - whatever that looks like to you. It is equally important that you begin your growth, nurturing yourself toward the life you really want to live.

We all wasted a lot of time while we were using. Not that we are clean there is probably a sense of urgency to repair our relationships, get our lives back together and to get out job or career in order. Remember, you can only do so much today, so make a plan, stick with it and get yourself going toward the life you desire.

And be gentle on yourself. You are on the right path - this is a marathon, not a sprint. I'm really saying this to myself and thinking you could probably use a reminder too.

Thank you so much for listening and being a part of this wonderfully supportive community. No longer are we living in the shadows!
