Meetings, sponsors and steps will lead us to a path of recovery and usefulness. Financial success may sometimes follow. It can lead us to the delusion that we again have power. Invariably this leads to external and internal and conflicts. Time spent worrying about self is always proof that we have turned inwards, again.
Wherever we are, at any time we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. […] It would be a pity if we were only aware of our suffering.
— Thich Nhat Hanh
Avoid then, the deliberate manufacture of misery.
