Why Do Easter and Recovery Both Represent Renewal?

Each year in spring, you can witness new life taking place literally before your very eyes. You may see swarms of butterflies flying over your head, chicks chirping to another, or the sun shining in the warmer climate. People will begin getting out to walk and bike while the air outside becomes a luxury that everyone appreciates after a long winter.

The renewal that the spring represents is something that can be completely understood with someone in recovery. Now that they have turned over a new leaf in their life and got rid of the drugs and alcohol in their system, they can become happy, joyous, and free like a butterfly, a bird, or a ray of the sun. There is nothing like sobriety to make a person feel alive again in a way they never have before.

You have a new way of life.

Instead of staying stuck in the bondage of self, you get to unleash a better version of yourself by taking some different action. Doing something you have never done to get results you have never had can give you the life you have always deserved.

You have a new set of tools.

Recovery is full of tools that work when a craving for drugs or alcohol appears or when something happens in life that might put you over the edge. Instead of doing what you normally do and try to numb out, you can grab one of your recovery tools. Calling your sponsor or therapist, journaling, or using mindfulness can help you to move past life on life’s terms staying sober.

You have a new outlook on life.

Rather than being consistently in self-pity, you have gotten yourself out of the pit of addiction and realize you have so much to live for sober. You want to be of service, and you want to be in the middle of the herd. Honestly, you have decided you will go to any lengths to stay sober which means working a recovery program that may be difficult at times but rewarding in the overall.

Recovery is a time of transformation and a renewed sense of life that resembles how the season of spring begins. The best thing about sobriety is that it is the gift that keeps on giving.
