Some people living in one day at a time recovery understand that life and living in recovery can become a sensitive unwinding. Slowly, as we grow in recovery, life’s ball of twine unwinds introducing us to the reality of our shadow-selves which had often convinced ourselves that the shadow-selves of others were the cause of all the wrongs and the injustices of our worlds. We deny our own shadow-selves promoting the facade of its perfection with no understanding of the reality of grace or self-awareness. In time and with wide-open eyes, we become witness to our own shadow-selves and we accept its reality. When we do we can become kinder and more compassionate people. We no longer make scapegoats out of others and we understand grace as we slowly gravitate towards our true-selves and we become more aware of a better reality as we grow. It’s important. Peace.
