Living Like a Cat
Let go and flow.
When my cat needs to rest, he rests. He does not spend an hour tidying up first or cramming in just a little more work to “earn” his nap. When my cat feels like playing, he embraces his inner kitten and really goes for it, unconcerned about being called stupid or lazy. He attends to his self-care without hesitation, never pausing to check his to-do list first. My cat is present for every moment of his life; he does not waste hours meticulously planning the future or analyzing the past.
My cat is happy, joyous and free.
I am not a cat. I'm a human being with responsibilities and complex feelings - and a full-fledged addiction. But through my willingness to rely on a Higher Power and to work the W.A. Twelve Steps gently and lovingly, I'm learning to look after myself as well as my cat looks after himself.
Recovery from workaholism offers me the chance for a new life every day.
