Stop biting chains

Doing a retrospective today I see that I was not born drinking industrially.
As I grew up I was molded according to my culture, beliefs, friends, parents ... alcohol came into my life as a magic remedy for relaxation and the disease gradually spread, amplifying my character defects until it became a drink in hell, like the movie.

Alcohol was removed, lucidity was gradually established, sobriety timidly gave its signals. And now, what to do with my sobriety? How can I face what alcohol made me anesthetized, without perception and without eyes to see?

Behind the scenes, behind alcohol there is a vast journey.

Emotional reconstruction, knowing who I really am, living with myself, becoming a better version every day.

As I heard the other day, Stop drinking and keep biting chains (anger, irritation, intolerance, etc.) is not enough.

I realize that having compassion, love, tolerance, forgiving, encouraging, etc. are incomplete feelings / actions if we are not part of them. For me, this is the essence of “spirituality." The language of the heart that causes profound changes.

I started to cry, laugh, say yes, say the difficult “no”, with Property!

Recovery disciplines like learning from others' experiences can seem tiring, repetitive but I have been experiencing for almost 4 years that there is always valuable information that one day will be able to make a difference in personal matters.

What saves me day by day is not just not drinking (although extremely important) but giving others what I received with love and for free!

To-do:

I will remember today that somehow connecting with others in recovery can be helpful to myself and them.  If I don't do recovery practice, which includes using this app, I start biting chains beginning with small links.
