Today I had to go and pick my husband up from work but I was in a part of town that I didn't really know that well, and had to navigate from there to his office. Initially I was worried ..... what if I got lost? What if I didn't get there on time? What if .... what it .... what if!!!!
But then I realized I had no need to worry because I have navigation in my car. I programmed it to lead me to his office and straight away, a voice gave me instructions of how to start. As we proceeded, periodically I'd get a new instruction, and step by step, with the help of the navigation system, I arrived safely to his office and on time!
Recovery is a little like that! When we start, we have this huge panic and fear, with so many questions about whether we'll ever each our destination of recovery. And yet, if we listen to our treatment team, they become like my navigation system. Periodically, they give us new suggestions / guidelines to follow and if we try them out, we find we continue moving forward in the direction we want.
With support, we never have to be alone and we find that no matter how unclear the journey is, if we trust in that voice, that support, we'll always get to where we want!
And so today I encourage you to listen to your GPS system!! It's there - we just have to remember to listen and trust that they're not going to lead us astray!!
