RULE 62

Rule 62 in recovery refers to the rule of “don’t take yourself too damn seriously.” It doesn’t always occur to someone in recovery that they are able to enjoy life again or be happy without drinking alcohol. When they look around, they see other people enjoying themselves without drugs or alcohol, but they still can’t quite wrap their head around the idea that they can enjoy it too.

The main take away from Rule 62 to is to see your life as lighthearted, fun and enjoyable. It’s important to be able to laugh at yourself and enjoy the little things. It can be difficult to understand at first, but people eventually get there.
