Getting into life...
Posted On: 03/30/2008 10:25:37

I'm back
    Yeah, I know. If I keep this up they're going to take away my keyboard. A recent blog by our friend Phobic (muchas Gracias) pointed out a part of the recovering persons life that can't be ignored. Life itself. What happens out in that big wide scary world out there. We tend to insulate and isolate our recovery from everything outside of our little circle.
     Okay, this is a recovery site, so our prime focus is Experience, Strength and Hope (as it should be). But he is obviously correct in that we need to express more than that single facet of our lifes to really relate to each other. 
     Friendships, whether online or in the physical usually don't stand up well on just one common point of interest. They get old, stale and drift apart. People get bored seeing the same thing every day. Intellectual stimulation is a good thing.
     IMO, it would be a good thing to see more posts like his - especially when they relate to the disease we carry around with us. As long as we adhere to good taste and respect for each other's point of view, we could have could have some fun...
Nuff said,
Dennis

I'll have to go read his post... experience, strength and hope-doesn't

happen without sharing- yup I get lost out in the world Iam creating- especially with animals, plants (people and my fellowship-)

you just reminded me of the little diagram a counsellor drew for me

in early sobriety-  which had 2 rings overlapping-now my rings are

three or more- aspects of self/ world/ recovery /writing.....all intersect-

all important !  Nia

Dennis....you're on a roll............thanks........I like the idea that life happens when we're too busy doing everything else and need to focus on the present, which segweys here into some thoughts I had since your post three times ago......peace and serenity, Ken.
