Just a little bit crazy this year, eh?
For us all—in every possible way.
And, especially for alcoholics and addicts. This time of year is usually, already crazy with anxiety and stress for people who are trying to maintain their sobriety—just being around friends and relatives who are celebrating with lots of drinking (and drugging). Then, add all that has happened this year that I don’t need to mention or list.
This year has been extra harmful for the recovery community (and people who aren’t in recovery yet) as our meetings have all gone online, which only accentuates our isolation—one of the biggest factors from which we were trying to escape, when we were actively drinking!
I am grateful to be sober through it all and to still try and show up for those who are still struggling.
I am thankful for this Christmas day that represents Jesus, the Light of The World, coming into the darkness to give us all hope.
I pray today for all of those who are still out in the darkness that are suffering. I pray that I can be that Jesus Light of Hope for you—that you can do this life sober too.
God Bless You.
Merry Christmas.
love, Heidi
