As a people of recovery, we have agreed to go on a journey that is filled with challenges and opportunities. There are times when these realities if life seem overwhelming and difficult to understand or accept. We have a human response to embrace what makes us feel good and reject that which feels bad. Gandhi said “One cannot do right in one department of life while attempting to wrong in another department. Life is one indivisible whole.” The point is, there are going to be times when the journey is filled with goodness and at other times sadness will take hold. Either way, it is the same journey.
