Starting off this week talking about the importance of water in recovery made me think of the speech “This is water” by David Foster Wallace. Maybe you have heard it or read the transcript before - if not... it was delivered at a college graduation ceremony but I feel like it has plenty of appropriate messages for anyone at any point in life. About the kind of awareness, choice and perspective that can help us from getting worn down and falling into harmful, isolating thought patterns and coping behaviors that become habits and can keep us from truly living this life.
