Enjoy the Journey

[MajestyJo]

Have met some awesome people on this recovery journey and I continue to thank my God for putting them in my path. My sponsor said, "You will meet people who will show you how to work your program and you will meet people who will show you how to NOT work your program."

I think of one in particular who comes to mind in the moment. My neighbor at the YWCA who took me to my first AA meeting and helped me get my first apartment when I was 6 months sober, asked me at 10 p.m. if I would like to go to a POW WOW the next day. Someone had backed out and she wanted to know if I would like to take their place. I was a year sober. We arrived at the Native Reserve and stayed in the house of someone who I didn't know. We had a mini-meeting, 8 of us around the kitchen table before leave for the day. Sitting at that table was a native American woman, I don't know if I ever did know her name, but she really filled me with awe and her words were so inspirational. The POW WOW was a very spiritual experience for me. I had already been introduced to the Medicine Wheel and a way of looking at life's circle. It was a new way to look at God and what He meant to others. He is the Creator of all, and sometimes I forget how great and all powerful He is.
