Motives

June 10, 2019

13 days clean and 55 days smoke free! I would spend a lot of time and money on people to get them to like me.

I would do things for the wrong reason – my motives were self-centered.

I would do things for people with the unspoken expectation that they would return the favour.

In recovery, my motives are changing. I want to do things for people because I actually like them.

I want to do things for the right reason, not just for my personal benefit.

Today, I will examine my motives.

I left the hateful rhetoric of Facebook to come here to carry a message of hope and healing I'm in recovery from addiction and rebuilding a life filled with purpose and creativity. Whether I'm playing the piano, baking, gardening, or knitting, I’ve found healing in the simple, meaningful moments. Buzz Kill Diaries is where I share honest reflections on recovery - one day at a time.
