Many people living in one day at a time recovery know the feelings of experiencing apprehensive reality. Apprehensive reality makes us think twice before we quickly, without much thought, jump into a situation of where we have been told, ” This is a place where angels fear to tread.” It is not the reality of exploring new horizons that are full of golden roads and milk and honey. It is the reality of risky situations that can lead us into harm or perhaps even relapse. When facing such realities we need to practice caution (for instance being asked to do an intervention all by ourselves). Experience and apprehension tell us not to do this. We are apprehensive for a reason. We need not go where angels fear to tread. Peace.
