Paddling Your Own Canoe 🛶
Recovery is a personal journey—one that requires effort, intention, and the right tools to stay afloat. As Katharine Hepburn once said,
“As one goes through life, one learns that if you don’t paddle your own canoe, you don’t move.”
In recovery, the tools you choose—like attending meetings, building a support network, journaling, or practicing mindfulness—become your paddle. Without actively using these tools, it’s easy to drift off course. But when you take responsibility for your journey, progress becomes possible, and every small action moves you closer (or helps you maintain) to a healthier, sober life.
Whether it’s attending alumni events, finding strength in the teachings of "The Big Book," or simply reaching out for help when needed, each tool you use helps you paddle forward. Keep paddling. The shore is closer than you think. 🚣♂️
