Spring is a time of abundant change.  Everywhere we look things are different with each passing day; lawns, gardens (and yes, weeds) are growing like crazy, the weather is warming, days are getting longer, flowers and trees are blooming.  Spring is also a time when we humans do a lot of changing.  It is a time when we feel more alive and burst forth with new resolve and energy, tackling issues that have been sitting dormant during the cold winter months . . . or maybe even years.  Health in general, and recovery in particular, are no exception.  Those who are in recovery might decide to work the steps again or take in more recovery-related activities and commitments.  Sometimes they decide to tackle collateral issues that have plagued them for a long time, i.e. quit smoking, start exercising, eat healthier.  Families that have been troubled with a loved one's alcoholism or addiction decide "now is the time" and commit as a family to getting outside help.  If you are in recovery, have you ever noticed how many "birthdays" there are during the spring?  Hmmm . . . . . 

 

 If you've been thinking about change in your life, perhaps now is the time!
