Life is a series of changes, both large and small.
Although we may know and accept this fact intellectually, chances are
that our initial emotional reaction to change is fear. For some reason,
we assume that each and every change is going to hurt, causing us to be
miserable.
If we look back on the changes that have happened in
our lives, we'll find that most of them have been for the best. We were
probably very frightened at the prospect of life without drugs, yet it's
the best thing that's ever happened to us.
Perhaps we've lost a job
that we thought we'd die without, but later on we found greater
challenge and personal fulfillment in a new career. As we venture forth
in our recovery, we're likely to experience more changes. We will
outgrow old situations and become ready for new ones.
With all sorts of changes taking place, it's only natural to grab hold of something, anything
familiar and try to hold on. Solace can be found in a Power greater
than ourselves. The more we allow changes to happen at the direction of
our Higher Power, the more we'll trust that those changes are for the
best. Faith will replace fear, and we'll know in our hearts that all
will be well.
