I have proof in my experience being sober that the more I work the steps in all facets of my life, I awaken more. I didn't get what spiritual awakening meant until the past few years of my recovery journey. Its like the more adversity I face the more I can see what I'm capable of.
My spiritual awakening feels like plastic cloak layers are being removed from my vision of the world and myself year after year. I think about my friend who passed almost 3 years ago and how I used to be just like him, unable to see, listen, and feel, like I discussed yesterday. Today I can see under the hood of life and how it works. I can listen to others without my self-talk drowning out their voice. I can feel joy and serenity.
I felt so much sadness and anxiety when I was drinking, like I was emotionally dying over and over again each day I awoke. In turn, I was slowly dying physically.
As the cloaks are removed each year, I can see opportunities in building my new life. I heard someone say this morning that "life is bigger in sobriety," and I couldn't agree more.
