Dust on diamonds, tears we cry, first we walk, then we fly.
— Mark Chapple
“First things first,” “Easy does it,” and “Keep it simple” are the touchstones of our recovery. At first, we may grasp recovery like a drowning person. We find that the harder we hold on to our life raft, the harder it is to relax and stay afloat. Letting go a little, we begin to trust that we won’t sink. We learn to keep it simple and concentrate on only one thing at a time. We surrender to our life raft and trust that we will be gently carried ashore.
Keeping it simple means trusting others to help us. It allows us to step out of the center of the universe and hold on gently to our supportive friends and our own process of growth.
Today let me get back to basics. Keeping it simple will keep me on the right track.
