As I was walking today I was struggling when the trail became steeper, I promised myself that I would not stop no matter what. I had to tell myself to not look at how much the incline increased, so I just looked down and started to only look at the way I was walking, and not concentrate on the struggle, but at how I paced my walk at that moment. I stopped searching for the finish line but only on the journey. This is how I have to conduct my life and when I am struggling, I only concentrate on my pace and my perception on what’s in front of me. The destination is not the goal only how I conduct my walk, and my perception of the journey. There are so many who I have watched meet so many challenges, and walk with integrity by putting their head down and just meet the moment and not the situation. Sobriety is so much more than just getting dry, for me it’s been about changing how I walk moment by moment, I can’t look at the inclines only the blessing of being able to walk towards something and not run away from me.
