"Graduation Day" cannot be found.
It might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
This is a standard message from the gods and goddesses of your understanding; they want you to know that "Graduation Day" in recovery just don't exist.
Yeah, we know. It sucks. Big time. It bites, too. For a while it was nice to think that we could complete the course, get the diploma, and get back out there and drink, drug, or whatever (and have it work just like it did in the beginning. . . yeah, right) without all the happy horseshit that prompted us to seek help in the first place.
But deep down, did we really think it was going to be any different if we went out and started using again?
Since most of us have truly hit bottom and want to recover, and have seen what happens to complacent "Graduates" who neglect their spiritual maintenance, we know we haven't been cured of our disease. It is only in remission.
Recovery is an ongoing process. The only "destination" is the Journey itself.
