Back to Basics

A woman who's been sober for several years said she had to get back to basics.

For most of her recovery, life had been smooth.

She reunited with her children. The company she worked for many years rehired her.

She found a new relationship with a man who understood and accepted her disease. They bought a home together.

And then things started to get rough. She and her boyfriend were at odds. She began having disagreements with her employer. Her children were angry at her. Dark clouds were gathering over her life.

She asked her sponsor what could be going on. And the sponsor asked how many meetings she'd been attending over the last few months.

And that's when she decided to get back to basics.

She'd stopped doing the basics that had contributed to her success.

Now that she's going to meetings her life is getting back on track.
