“There are no bad days, only good days and learning days.” (Basic Text p. 324).
Yesterday I struggled with grief, anger, frustration, impatience but if I change the way I look at it, it was a learning day filled with love, understanding, strength, and growth.
At NA, my Higher Power gave me comfort through the reading from Living Clean, “Growing Pains.” It stated:
“Eventually, all of us come to an emotional crisis in recovery. We start wondering if recovery will last or if we had just gotten a brief reprieve and we are about to go crazy again … don’t give up five minutes before the miracle. Many of us leave not when things are horrible, but when we have one more spiritual hump to get over. (Living Clean, p. 13).
I am never alone in my feelings.
We all go through similar emotional experiences.
Go or grow? That is the question and of course I choose grow.
