It's been a while since I blogged, and there's a variety of reasons as to why, but no matter what is going on in my life, situations still seem to pop up that remind me about recovery!!
Recently I was standing in an elevator. I watched the doors close and stood waiting for it to rise. Nothing happened. It took me a minute to realize that the elevator wasn't going to go anywhere if I didn't press the button and let it know which floor I needed to go to! Yup, funny how that works!
But the reality is that recovery works something like that. We can have all the plans in the world, know exactly where we want to get to, but until we 'press the button' nothing will happen! In recovery that means not only coming up with a plan with our treatment team, but taking action and following through! Yeah, that's the tough part and yet, without it, we will stay exactly where we are! How's that phrase go - "if you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got'!!
And so, make today different! Step in the elevator called recovery AND press the button to start moving toward it!! That will probably look different for each of us, but it is still something we can ALL do!!!
So go on, press the button and take action on recovery today - I DARE you!!!
