One of the gifts that God gives to people in recovery or in any spiritual path, for that matter, is not getting “well” too soon. People are attracted to anything that has a quick fix. Drugs can do that, but such is not wellness, just diversion and detour for the moment. Wellness, recovery, spiritual development that is truly transforming takes a lot of time and this is good. Time allows for depth, for change in perspective, for actually becoming of service to others. The slow progress keeps us coming back or staying with the whole program, process of change. With time we realize it is an ongoing process, never complete. And to stop is to go backwards to where we were when life was a mess. Carry on.
