Many people living in one day at a time recovery know what it is like to to be anxious but responsible in regards to both life and recovery. Stressors can have a way of building up one by one especially as we develop the reality of taking on more responsibility in regards to life and the task that we need to do day after day after day. Daily task (what we are capable of taking responsibility for) should be what we excel at. For some it’s running Fortune 500 companies – for some it’s the taking our dog for a walk on the the walking trail. Both can be difficult, but in reality recovering people do measure up. We all have our strengths. We do what we can do. Anxious or not. Practice, breathing, prayer, and affirmations help to get us there. We get to understand the reality of this too shall pass. Participation in life and in recovery can can be some of our greatest joys. We can be responsible. Just do it. Peace.
