Reminder

Avoid the illusions and dishonesty of infatuation -

"The beginning phase of recovery is always a very emotional and painful time. Still, all this pain can be an important motivator for recovery, providing great incentive to take the difficult steps necessary for real change to occur. However, "falling in love" (and taking the focus off self) can easily create a false sense of well-being. In the "scary," unfamiliar, and often painful time of early recovery, becoming "special" to a person of the opposite sex is a tremendous ego booster. This can create the illusion of being much farther long in the process of recovery than they really are. Additionally, the commitment to "rigorous honesty" is usually forsaken as they strive to make the best possible impression to win the affections of the other person. "

A reminder for myself when my head is in the clouds. Stay honest, transparent and true. Stay focused on how I got here. Stay focused on who saved me.
Keep both feet grounded and always remember...
