I went into the “Office” (aka my local Starbucks) this morning to get some writing done. I was able to get my favorite corner spot. They even had Sumatra brewing for the dark roast choice. Life was good! Then as I made my way over to the corner my shoes made a horrible noise as I walked through the sugary remnants of a spilled drink. It was like walking on the floor of a dirty movie theater. Uggh!

I let my barista know about it and before I could even get logged on to begin writing this blog she had it cleaned up. The next person who walks by will have no idea. This big problem that had me all bothered is now a big nothing burger. Life and recovery reflect each other when we walk through the steps all the time. I was having a problem and I reached out for some help. I talked to someone I could trust and who had the ability to help me solve the problem. Now everything is coming up roses.

Next time you have an issue, reach out to someone who can help you to…
