Daily Reprieve

The hamster gets up, stretches, drinks water and eats a few processes crumbs, and jumps on the wheel to run and amuse his provider, whoever the hell that might be.  He runs, and never actually moves.  He is free to move around, but never really free to leave.  Is this life on life’s terms?

I guess relationships are what keep this from being the ultimate reality.  I have people I love to be around, to experience.  I have gratitude for the intimacy I experience on a daily basis. 

My mind and heart are not on recovery right now.  I have and continue to talk with my Higher Power.  I have talked with a sponsee.  I am at a loss right now.  There are things I must do to assume responsibility for those things I own.  I must follow through.  I will.
