Aloha and welcome to the sobriety rocks podcast, I’m your host, Kirk Waterman. Today we talk about Balancing the Scales of Life“Next to love, balance is the most important thing.” ― John WoodenWhen I was a child, the scales of my life were well balanced across all areas of life. That balance helped me to be happy, find fulfillment in most everything I did, and be a positive, contributing member of my community. But, as I grew into my teens and started using drugs and alcohol regularly, the scales of my life became terribly unbalanced. For a time, drinking and using made that okay, until one day it no longer was, and I found my way to the rooms of recovery. What a relief it was to find people who had once been as unbalanced as me, but were now living productive, happy, balanced lives. So, I accepted their support and the tools they offered, and after some trial and error, I too, began to get balance back in my life.Over the years later, I’ve continued to use those same tools to successfully navigate everything life has thrown my way, to find meaning and purpose, and continually balance the scales of my life. No matter how unbalanced your life may be, don’t give up hope! Everything you need to turn things around and balance the scales of your life, are here for you too. Today we close with a brief meditation for Inner Peace, Happiness, and Calm. So please get comfortable, close your eyes, take a few slow, deep breaths, and join me.Find Treatment Centers Find Recovery Meetings Listen to Recovery Speakers Download Recovery Literature Access Free Recovery Resources Visit RecoveryHQ.com Visit Sober Surgeries Follow us: Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook Contact Us For Help Today!
