God Grant Me May 15th
“They talk of my drinking but never my thirst.”
-Scottish Proverb
Today’s Action
Today I will write down three things I have learned about happiness since I started working a recovery program.
1.) Happiness does exist. My father tells me that happiness doesn’t exist and that there is really only contentment. I refuse to believe this, because now that I am in recovery, I think I truly know how it feels to be happy.
2.) I can be happy regardless of the situation I’m in. Even when I’m going through a hard period, I still have a sense of happiness with where I am in life. I didn’t have this in recovery. When I was sad and depressed, I lost faith in happiness. Now I’m more able to find the positive out of a negative situaiton.
3.) I will stay happy as long as I am in recovery. If I give up on recovery and live like a “normie,” I think my happiness will surely fade away.
