Aloha and welcome to the sobriety rocks podcast, I’m your host, Kirk Waterman. Today we talk about No Strings Attached
Bruce Lee said “I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.”
I was young, wild, and free when I was a kid. I didn’t care what others thought of me, and I wasn’t attached to anyone. But, by the time I was a teenager, I had strings attached to people all over my life.
From my parents and siblings to friends and girlfriends, even teachers and coaches. I began caring too much about what people thought and began to lose my sense of self.
Unfortunately, drugs, alcohol, food, sex, athletics, work, and other things, dulled the pain of living that way. Then one day the people I attached the strings of my life to, cut ties with me. The loneliness became too much, and I hit bottom.
Miraculously I was brought to the rooms of recovery where I learned that we don’t need people, drugs, alcohol, or any other addiction to be happy and free.
All these years later, the principles of the program have blessed me with an amazing life. One where I can be true to myself, and free of the expectations of others, while still being of service, wherever I go.
Whatever cards life has dealt you, I hope your strings aren't attached too tightly to anybody or anything. If they are, feel free to join us on our path, so you too can live the life of your dreams, with no strings attached.
Today we close with a brief meditation to open your heart. So please, get comfortable, close your eyes, take a few slow, deep breaths, and join me.
