This reminds me of what someone told me when I first came to recovery. “Bring your body and your mind will follow.” I didn’t understand that statement at the time but after awhile I started to notice changes within myself. I was smiling more, laughing, showing up early and staying late. I was absorbing all the info and love that was being shared so freely. I kept “coming back” and eventually my mindset changed too. It caught up with my body, is what I tell people. I wanted to stay clean. I wanted what the others had. People started coming to be for experience and suggestions with whatever they may have been struggling with at the time or just to be a shoulder to cry on. Today, I am no longer just a body in a chair. Today I am a recovering addict with my head in the “game” doing my best to share what was freely given to me so I may keep what i have. —Shayne💜Lee—
