I have this little part of myself -call it the addict or just a character defect or Tom if you want, it is just a part-that always wants to run away. I want to run to India one week and Missoula, Montana the next. This part thrives on freedom, but then as soon as a potential opportunity arises to capitalize on this supposed freedom, I want to run right back to my comfort zone.....
Just for today, remember that true freedom comes from the inside out. No location, no move, no job will ever help you acquire the freedom you seek...sit down and practice acceptance and gratitude for what you have today and you will miraculously feel free.
This is a daily posted blog by Blythe, ME.d and LCSW that offers simple tips for getting and staying clean from any number of addictions. Features, Staying Sober with Sam!

Listen....
to the words of another who is wiser than you-
to the sound of the universe asking you to dream bigger than you ever dared to dream...
Just for today, believe that your world can be bigger than the limitations of your imagination...only if you listen to what is calling you to its direction...

Let Go
So, the people around you aren't doing what you, in your little, limited mind are demanding them to do? Well, go figure..good reminder that all of our minds are limited by our own experience and most of our minds are limited by our diseases inclinations...
Just for today, let another person wallow in their misery or take the "wrong" turn as you deem it; and, remember, if you had such great ideas about what life was supposed to be like, perhaps you wouldn't have asked for help staying sober:) Good reminder for me today too!
