I am what you’d call a sober junkie.
I love listening to other alcoholics/addicts tell their stories of getting sober. That moment of clarity they have that tells them there is a better way—a better life. Hearing those moments gives me a high unlike any I received in my active drinking days.
My drug of choice now—is you. I love sitting in meetings and being present to witness recovery and to show up for others to give hope.
Last meeting I went to the topic was “How do you hear God? “
I shared that I hear God speak through each and every one of the people in meetings who have the courage to open their mouths and tell the truth.
That’s how I hear God.
When I am aggravated, edgy, moody, I go to a meeting and open my ears. Sometimes it’s hard to get past my own judgement of people sharing or this or that, seemingly unimportant chatter—but then, when I least expect it, God speaks directly to me—
Through YOU!
Sometimes it’s the very last person who speaks—there it is. That’s why I am here today.
To show up for you and give you hope. And, for you to give me hope.
I love this sober life.
I am a sober junkie.
