FINDING BALANCE  Lets not forger to play. Our way of life is a serious matter, but it is not intended as a punishment, nor do we repent and suffer for the rest of are lives.  Our new way of life is intended to produce GROWTH. But growth takes work .  And needs play for balance. If we forget to play and be joyful, our life will become unbalanced and we will suffer needlessly. Have I found some balance in my life? HP--Higher Power help me remember that all living thingsneed balance, let me laught, play and most of alL...... LET ME GROW   till next time Peace

Play is important esp. in recovery. I have found that I have to know how to have fun, laugh and cut up sober just as I did drunk. But the wonderful thing about doing it sober? You remember it the next morning! ;)

I like this.... found that just chilling and acting like a kid again is really theraputic!

I am with you G, I want balance and to grow and by \'playing\' in my life that helps. Laughter is good for the soul as is learning. Progress not perfection, right? x

balance is exactly what I seek. Learning how to have fun again is going to be a challenge but being sober shouldn\'t be a punishment. I love what you have written here.
