PINK CLOUDS

Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will create the fact.

~ William James ~

Nearly all of us refer at some time to being on a “honeymoon of recovery.” Whether we call it a “honeymoon” or “being on a pink cloud,” the experience is the same. The recovery honeymoon is a natural state of well-being after we “get the monkey off our backs.”

The sensation of living on a pink cloud never has to leave us, but we can only keep it by moving into positive action and working our Program. This is a time of being physically, emotionally, and spiritually at peace with society and ourselves. It has been described as a time of joy that makes us feel we are climbing out of darkness into light. Like other miracles of recovery, pink clouds are reality, not fantasy.

I can keep living on my “pink cloud” of recovery if I keep working at it and practicing gratitude and humility.
