Make sobriety a byproduct not a focus in your life. This is our goal! Each and everyone of us has something to learn from one another. We come together to discuss characteristics, habits, skills, and values as they have fit our day to day lives in the past, how we live now, and where we may want to be in the future. In analyzing ourselves based on a shared topic, we come to recognize our errors or shortcomings from our past, how we have learned from them and live in our present, and set goals on how we can work on growing and improving in who we will become in our future.
As we share these things with each other, we also learn from each other. We come come together to help learn from each others mistakes, support each other as we navigate through our sober lives, and how to continue to grow and fill the voids we may have in our own complex individual cultures. With this growth we hope to become stronger and more complete emotionally, psychologically, mentally, physically, spiritually, religiously, and socially. We can do that working together, and trying to be a slightly better version of ourselves than we were the day before, each and everyday, for as long as we are able. We will go to bed humble and grateful, and wake to not “get through” our days anymore, but to live each one with value and purpose. With this our sobriety will become a byproduct to the life we are living, not just the focus in order to live.
