Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still. - Chinese proverb

All of us are a little afraid of growth. We wonder how growth will change our lives. Who will we be? Will our friend still love us? Can't we grow up and get in over with? Why does it take so long?

All of us have a need to keep growing. There is no age when we're "all grown up" and all done learning. But we don't need to rush our growth. Like a child on a too-big bicycle, at times we'll find ourselves out of control. We'll tip over. We can grow at our own pace, but we must grow. We must make changes. Or else, like an athlete on a too-small bicycle, we won't get far. We'll tip over too!

Hi Rose

Congrats on 63 days!!!!

It's always a great idea to see a doctor and get a physical after getting sober.  That way you can talk to him/her about what drugs or alcohol you were doing and how much.  That way they can tell you what to expect and make sure there aren't any problems.

If you need help finding free or sliding scale medical help in your area, leave me a message here and I will see if I can't help you find some resources.

Again, congrats on 63 days!! That's awesome!
