Ah hah!

"Trust God, Clean House, Help others."

“Trust God, Clean House, Help others.”

Yesterday after my noon meeting I headed to therapy. I absolutely adore my therapist, by the way. I went through 3 different therapist after my longtime therapist left and I’m so glad I did because I love this lady! When we first started getting to know one another she asked me why was I still coming after all these years and still sober and doing 12 step meetings as well. My reply was quite simple and I basically told her I felt therapy was another great tool for me to utilize and there’s always something I want to learn, grow, expand on about myself as an individual.

A sober sister of mine asked me a few years back, “who is Clairey” of course I responded with a daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother. She then said,” who is Clairey without all the titles?” I had no reply.

So this was my therapeutic goal to be set. My therapist and I put it in black and white and I see her almost every week. I was sharing with her some realizations I’ve had and some goals I’d like to somehow put into action. A few things that really make me happy and I enjoy greatly. After sharing this with her she asked me, “what do all those things have in common?”

My reply was, “Me!?!”

I was most definitely pleased with my response but it was not the response she was looking for and asked me again.

“What do all of these things have in common?”

Starring blankly at her I asked,”what?” She said they all involve helping others! Well, gosh darn it she was right.

To be continued….

Everyone can be great because everyone can serve
