Being Present in Life and Sobriety

When you decide to bring your full presence to your sober life, you may find that the entire experience is filled with new energy and happiness.

Being present in life begins before we even get out of bed. It starts with our intention to bring consciousness into everything we do, including those activities we do for sobriety. No matter what role you play, where you’re at or what you do…no matter if your in a drug addiction detox or a 30 day rehab program there is much to be gained by fully engaging in the tasks at hand. When you decide to bring your presence into your sober activities, you may find that the entire experience of sobriety is filled with new energy and life.

Sometimes we believe that when we step through the doors of meetings or step out into the “real” world, we cease being ourselves and start being someone else. Though people may depend on us to perform certain tasks, the truth is that we never stop being ourselves. The commitment to being a conscious, empowered person of integrity doesn’t stop and start with a split second. Our decision to be present for our own lives is what weaves together all of our experiences from the moment we wake up, throughout our entire day, and to the moment we turn off the lights at night.

Before leaving to go out into the world today, you can clear your energy and choose to step out with your best foot forward. We have sought out alcohol addiction help and because of that can really accomplish anything. Setting an intention in the morning can even help you stay present as your day unfolds. You might decide to find joy in every activity, complete all of your projects on time, or be truly helpful to your fellows. By being fully present, you will begin to radiate and people may begin to notice; they may even want to follow your lead. Whether you doing so-so or doing the work as long as its your best, do it with pride and be the best you can be.
