There’s an old poem I came across:
The camel each day goes twice to his knees
He picks up his load with the greatest of ease.
He walks through the day with his head held high
And stays for that day, completely dry.
That hit me.
Because in a lot of ways… that’s us.
We show up every day.
We carry what we need to carry.
We keep moving forward.
And we stay dry.
We don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Yeah — sobriety can be hard.
Yeah — some days feel like a desert.
But it doesn’t have to be heavy all the time.
That’s why we lean into the camel 🐪
Because it’s:
Fun
Memorable
And a reminder that we’re all just figuring this out together
We’re not just “not drinking”…
We’re building something.
Connection.
Laughter.
A social life that actually feels good again.
So yeah…
We ride camels around here 🐪🔥
And we get over the humps together.
