The Grass Isn't Greener: It's Yellow


I am trying to structure my thoughts here in a way that makes sense so I can read it and edit it. My thoughts are all over the place. When you're in your twenties and shit hits the fan (i.e. traumatic events) than you really have an awakened heart. Being in the moment is a bit of a struggle... Basically, it involves pinching yourself to remind you that you're here
Any who I was working an AA program--in this program it's traditional that one works the 12-steps. My first go-around sobriety started when I was 25, I was sober age 25-27. And my sponsor had a folder for me with paper and all (very organized, which I love). She would have me write a gratitude list everyday, highly recommend starting a journaling habit, and read with me in “The Blue Book.” Fast forward to now and I am 28, relapsed back in October 2014, sober ever since. But my program is more eastern philosophy and creativity based. Meaning I'm finding it more effective to stay sober by being in moment, by feeding my mind books & exercise, and trying to stay on top of expressing myself through typing/writing these and sharing them virtal.

Spirituality is a strange thing, I believe it to be kind of undervalued in this day & age. I mean yoga and meditation help of course.  Instead of being in the moment you're constantly thinking the grass is greener on the other side.. it's a predicament. Which brings me back to my AA workbook, finding that workbook solidifies how important gratuity is. It reminded me to write.
