We
have spent much of our lives running. Now
that we received alcohol addiction help, and started the addiction recovery
process it is time we stopped running and started showing up. As we grow older
the responsibilities also grow. As sober members of society we have a new set
of morals. One, being that we honor the commitments we make to ourselves.
Showing up and suiting up not only shows ourselves that we can be accountable
but shows others that we are dependable. Choosing Sobriety
We
chose to get sober to live our lives free from the bondage of our alcohol addiction. If
we are too busy avoiding our responsibilities what kind of life are we leading?
As alcoholics we need tasks. We need to do things that make us feel
accomplished. Showing up for those tasks might seem difficult but afterwards it
feels great. Being responsible does not always have to do with the physical act
of showing up but also taking responsibility in our interactions with others.
With every situation comes positive and negative reactions.
Taking Responsibility
We
must take responsibility and keep the side of our street clean. We must check
our motives and our actions without taking other people’s inventory. When we
mess up we must humble ourselves, see where we might have been wrong, and take
responsibility for it. It is hard to humble ourselves when we are in the wrong
because of our egos but when we take responsibility for our actions it is one
of the most empowering things we can do for ourselves. Being responsible in all
of our affairs will not only help us grow but it will also help us learn how to
have respect for ourselves and those around us.
