Episode #190 – Friday The Checkup: A Firm Foundation

One of the most wonderful things about what I do as a person committed to personal recovery is working with others along the way. One of the most important things I convey to everyone is the importance of a firm foundation. If one is to build anything a foundation is required. It has been said “If the foundations are destroyed what can one do.” I’ve also heard “a house divided against itself cannot stand.“ So not only does the foundation need to be firm but an indicator of its firmness is it singleness of purpose. To paraphrase the Gandhi, Life is an indivisible whole and it must lack internal conflict.

 

Building a firm foundation is required to establish personal recovery. A foundation is: the basis or groundwork of anything also the natural or prepared ground or base on which some structure rests.
