One on the things I am learning in recovery is that change is inevitable. Jobs come and they go, people come and they go and lifestyles come and go. Recently I was diagnosed with obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and hypothyroidism. This has caused the need for a lifestyle change regarding my eating habits and exercise.
Last month I was also laid off from a job that I absolutely loved. I sincerely woke up each day with an attitude of gratitude for my work. What I did made me feel good. I finally felt like I was being of service to others and that I was giving back. It broke my heart to be laid off and while I have another job already I miss the people I worked with. I especially miss one of my co-workers. She wasn't just a co-worker, but my best friend. She's the only friend I have ever had that never judged me and accepted me unconditionally. I miss seeing her on a daily basis and miss talking to her everyday and having someone to share my thoughts and feelings with. She posesses all of these spiritual principles and the Light of God just shines through her spirit. The thing that I love is that she has all of that and doesn't work a recovery program. The things we, in recovery, work so hard for, she has naturally as a child of God.
