Meditation Monday: Embracing Patience on the Path to Recovery

Happy sobriety does feel good, even though it may include short-term discomfort or temporary boredom. The long-run tendency of sobriety is toward having peace of mind, feeling good about ourselves and using our talents and opportunities wisely. This is the mature way to feel good, but we achieve it only by thinking and acting in the right ways.
Can patience really be the key to a happier, sober life? In this episode of Recovery Road, host William C Moyers dives into the calming world of meditation with three thoughtful excerpts from Hazelden Publishing's beloved books: Walk in Dry Places, If You Leave Me, Can I Come with You?, and Day by Day.
Each meditation focuses on the theme of patience, offering gentle guidance on how to slow down, think before acting, and find joy in the steady pace of sober living. One memorable quote from Walk in Dry Places reminds us that 'happy sobriety does feel good, even though it may include short-term discomfort or temporary boredom'. This episode is a perfect companion for anyone on their recovery journey, whether you're just starting out or have been sober for years.
Take a few moments to breathe, reflect, and embrace the virtue of patience with these meditative insights.
