What will I do for fun in recovery?
I like many people wondered how could I have fun if I did not drink? Would I feel cheated? Yes, sometimes in the moment I do. But, that said I can tell you I have more fun now than I ever have. Last night was a perfect example. A group of us met up at a local Thai place and had a great meal. We laughed and had fun. Later we came back to the house and had espresso and went in the spa. Not bad for a Thursday night. This weekend people are going to movies, swimming, grilling out and some are getting a pay for view event. No drugs no alcohol and 90% of the paricipants are addicts. Why is this my life syle? Because I made the effort to get to know people in recovery. Some of them I would never have invited into my life or crossed paths with before I joined the fellowship. But, I kept and open mind and trusted the process.
Hoping you all have a wonderful and safe holiday!
