I haven't posted a new entry in a while. See, I became frustrated because I did not see any evidence my blog was being read. I was easily steered off my goal of sharing something that gave another person strength and hope. It was so easy to quit and start looking for the next "project" that would bring me instant gratification. Somewhere, filed deep in my mind, is the knowledge that addiction is about instant gratification. For me, I wanted to drink enough to immediately forget and avoid responsibilities in life.
I continually learn in recovery and this time... I am learning another lesson in delayed gratification. I am going to take a deep breath and wait for the good things to unfold.
What gifts have you received from delayed gratification?
