Embracing Choices: Akiva Stern's Poetic Insight in Recovery

Does the tree unfurl its leaves when there is sun to greet them? Does she push off her leaves when the cold winds will take them? The tree may not know, for never has she been asked. She simply does what she does flowing through the seasons.
Imagine starting your day with a poem that speaks directly to your journey in recovery. That's what you'll find in this episode of 'Hammock Readings'. Akiva Stern's poem, 'Choice', is the focus of Hammock Reading 33, and it beautifully captures the essence of making decisions in the path to sobriety. The poem uses the metaphor of a tree flowing through the seasons to illustrate how our choices shape our recovery journey.
Just like a tree adapts to changing seasons, our decisions guide us through the ups and downs of recovery. This episode isn't just about listening to a poem; it's about finding daily inspiration and direction as part of a supportive community. By tuning in, you'll join others who share similar struggles and aspirations, making each morning a shared experience of renewal and strength.
Whether you're battling alcohol addiction, navigating drug rehab, or supporting a loved one through their recovery, 'Hammock Readings' offers a gentle yet powerful start to your day. Each episode is designed to infuse your mornings with motivation, covering themes like self-acceptance, forgiveness, and mindfulness. This particular reading reminds us that we have the power of choice every day, and it's up to us to make the most of it.
So, why not make 'Hammock Readings' part of your daily routine and start each day on the right note?
