From isolation to connection

Here is an excerpt from JFT today

“We addicts need not live lives of isolation. The Twelve Steps can restore our connection to life and living-if we work them. ”

Yeah, I remember how isolation when I was drinking. Drinking was all about isolation from people. Being clean in NA means that I no longer have to isolate and also I can attend all of the parties and festivals that I never could when drunk.

That is right. Being clean and spiritually health means that I can attend all of the fun stuff. If I am bad place spiritually, I cannot attend.

So being spiritually healthy is all about connecting with others and not isolating. That is good to know

An excerpt from the Just for Today reads

“It may be difficult to watch as someone’s insanity manifests itself. But if we detach ourselves from the problem, we can start living in the solution. And if we feel affected by another’s actions, we can extend the principle of forgiveness.”

What a great line! That principle is so important to apply in our lives to handle the amount of toxic resentments that might come up during the course of our life. To forgive and let go is the antidote towards anxixety inducing resentment that can make life miserable and depressing
