What is the best thing about recovery?

What's the best thing about your recovery?

What is the best things about recovery? The freedom from active addiction. That freedom allows me the freedom to be myself. That freedom helped me to find the God of my understanding. That freedom taught me to live one day at a time.

I found that Freedom through the 12 Steps that originated with Alcoholics Anonymous.

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young
woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not very clean", she said.
"She doesn't know how to wash correctly.
Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."

Her husband looked on, but remained silent.

Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the
young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a
nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:
"Look, she has learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this?"

The husband said, "I got up early this morning and
cleaned our windows."


And so it is with life. What we see when watching others
depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
