Timing

[roverl0616]

Most in recovery question the timing of when it happens without exception we all feel the time wasn't right. I was sure because I was so young that I could put off my recovery until I was ready. I was going to wait to see if things would get as bad for me as I saw they had got for some. My sponsor pointed out that even though I could do that, it didn't make any sense to do so. Why wait ? he said. He also reminded me that I hadn't been responsible for the events that led to me finding recovery when I did. In fact the truth was I had told him I had been very bothered about when this had happened for me. I thought the time wasn't right. Recovery happens exactly when it's supposed to happen. The only part we play in this is not to mess up that timing. We obviously can, but nothing good will come from doing so, and we could lose everything by questioning that timing. I stayed with my recovery and now can see that it had happened exactly when I needed it to happen for me to have any real chance of making it.
