Today I was driving down to a meeting when, all of a sudden, I panicked. You see, I was on a road I'd not been on for a while and for a moment, did not recognize it at all!! I completely panicked, didn't know what to to do - should I turn round, keep going, trust that it was right? Fortunately, within a couple of minutes, I began to see familiar sights and realized that I was in the right place after all!!
Don't you think that's how recovery can be sometimes? We continue moving forward, but then all of a sudden we panic and feel like we're in unfamiliar places. Or, we slip and feel totally lost and like we'll never get back on track.
Trusting that the path we're on is not easy, but even if we have that momentary sense of being lost, trusting that recovery is the right step is why we keep fighting!!!
So next time you feel 'lost', stop and take a deep breath. Before long, familiar things will return and you'll be back on track fighting Ed in no time!!
