Today is Resurrection Sunday for those whom are religious. The definition of resurrection is the rising again to life of all the human dead before the final judgment. It reminds me of the phoenix rising from the ashes.
Some of us have to kill our former selves in order to become the person we need to be. We have to disregard some of the negative thoughts we have about ourselves and exterminate bad habits. It may be hard. It may be difficult, but it is necessary in order for us to grow and become the person God created us to be.
Getting sober is a resurrection. You shed that former life and rise from the ashes. You repair what was broken, you make good on your promises, you change problematic behaviors, you get back trust from those you love and have hurt.
Resurrection is not easy, but would staying dead be better?
