Perception is everything

In recovery, our lives can dramatically change while also staying very much  the same. For example, you may work the same type of job, hang out with some of the same friends, drive the same car, or live in the same house. You will have the same family, live on the same planet, and have some of the same opinions. Nevertheless, your life will be radically different. And that is because your PERCEPTION changes. The way you view your job will change. The way you view your friends will change. The way you view your neighborhood, your family, and your world will change. And most importantly, the way you view yourself will change. And for those of us who have lived in active addiction, that perception change is vital for our continued recovery!
