What is your definition of “sanity”?
Last night's step study ended before we got to this question in our Celebrate Recovery workbooks. I didn't get to share my answer. So here ya go...
Sanity is stopping this relapse before the demon in my head possessed me again. Thank God I'm not in my addiction today.
Sanity is having friends like you, that I've never met, who encourage me and pour out heartfelt empathy and solid advice when I'm at my worst. I appreciated every one of your comments last week.
There's more at The Second Road...

I like your definition of sanity and the picture is an exquisite representation of a sane, healthy mind.
Congratulations on stopping the relapse demon. All rise for a standing ovation for progress, not perfection.
This journey is not a call to perfection, but a call to honesty and that my friend, you are walking in. Pretty sane behavior if you ask me.
Beautiful picture...btw
well i am not one who goes to the second road, but it sounds like you are in a better place now. you have been thought of in our meetings and i think of you during the moment of silence before we pray
I'm glad that you are in a sane place today. Take care of yourself Eli.
Take care of yourself, this is a great place for you where so many do care and are here. What we have been given we much freely give away!
Wonderful post...thank you!
many hugs!

My brother Eli,
you have been on my heart and I wanted you to know that I love you and I pray with you.
Do not let the enemy keep you down in the blinding darkness of your struggles.
I myself truly understand and I hope and pray that you will accept His forgiveness AND your own.
I love you brother, if you ever get the chance and are interested in being a part of the online community that I am building, or should I say that God is building using a sinner like me, it is called the Worship Artists Global Fellowship and can be visited and joined at the following address, I'd love to see you there.
Your brother in Christ,
Tim

the name eli in hebrew means called of God. I love that. Sarah
Please take care.
Sanity is recognizing that we need God's help before we get out of bed. One day at a time.
