Once we have found our own path in recovery it becomes our responsibility to maintain it, many of us do get far off our path at one time or another, it seems to have to happen to all of us. Maybe it's because only then do we truly realize the value of being on the path of recovery. There are as many different paths in recovery as there are people. As long as we partake in the sharing of our experience on our own path with others in recovery we'll be okay. It's only when we cease doing this that we are headed towards trouble, maybe not at first, but eventually we'll end up there that place, that's no good for any of us to be. Staying close to our own path in recovery and all that we have found there will prevent us from ever having to find that place.
