You get there by realizing you are already there.

– Eckhart Tolle

Recovery has, for me, primarily been about recovering myself. That is to say, sometimes, when I look at a circumstance that seems daunting, I fear that I can never become the person that I need to be in order to handle the situation well. At times like this, I am reminded that I am already the person that I need to be and that my fear springs from my ego which tells me that the person I am might not be enough. As time has passed, I realized my ego is wrong. I am enough. I always have been. I am who I want to be; I am simply becoming more aware of myself through the Steps and slogans, little by little, one day at a time.
