Lately I’ve understood if it wasn’t that, it would have been something else. Maybe it would have come years later, but it was coming because it’s how I’m wired and who I am.

I can relate a lot to where you’re at now. It’s dawning on me all the wisdom that used to irritate or push me away is true, which reminds me of an annoying platitude: time takes time. I think we all get to this place if we just don’t drink and keep pushing forward, but it takes getting there to realize this.

]]> Comment on Cancún by eddiered http://earlyrecoveryblog.com/2012/09/16/cancun/#comment-144 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 01:13:13 +0000 http://earlyrecoveryblog.com/?p=258#comment-144 Thanks a lot for the post. I really enjoy reading your writing. I know what it feels like to think that I am missing out on things while in recovery. The truth for me is that no matter what I am doing, if I am unhappy than I will always be wanting to be doing something else…whether I am drink or not. In sobriety, if I am doing the right thing and liking what I am doing with my life then I don’t feel the need to jump over to the greener grass. I got help from a place called New Life House. Check out their site if you are looking for help. New Life House – A Structured Sober Living.
