I’ve worked with thousands of clients over the years. I have one right now experiencing extreme anxiety and fear on a daily basis. In one session recently she threw up her arms and yelled, “What’s wrong with me?!!” I looked at her and said, “Nothing is wrong with you. Everything is operating according to its design. Yes, something is going on, but the pain you’re in is just the symptom, the effect; the pain is a perfect messenger. Your body, heart and spirit are trying to get your attention. If you listen, you’ll start noticing what it is that needs to be addressed. Stop fighting the signal and you’ll get to the source.” Consider that pain is the “Check Engine” light of our lives.
The benefits of having humility have become clearer to me lately, particularly as my life as a sober woman has grown and my relationships with others have multiplied. With a couple years of sobriety, I now have a full-time job and am heavily involved in a 12 step fellowship, which has led to a lot of interactions with new people with a range of personalities. For me, this leads to confusing interactions, obsessing about what to say and not say, and repeated opportunities for keeping my side of the street clean. How do I proceed through the day without feeling uncomfortable or needing to apologize? After many mistakes and missteps, it seems having humility in all my interactions is ultimately the answer.
If you have been sober for a couple of days so far, chances are you have heard someone say the word ‘grateful’ in a sentence.
If you have been sober for 1-2 weeks, chances are you have heard the word grateful used in so many sentences you feel overwhelmed by the word and are starting to question whether ‘grateful’ is a substitute for a word other than ‘grateful’.
Understandably so.
Gratitude is thrown around a lot in recovery. You hear the hard-core sober men and women say: “Get off your pity-pot and get in gratitude.” You hear gratitude is a necessary component of sobriety,” and “Write a gratitude list when you get in your head.”
