Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of being cautious. In all reality when we are in places where alcohol is being served we know that we don’t leave our non-alcoholic beverage unattended. This is also important for people who are consuming alcohol. Many such people do not leave their alcoholic drink unattended for fear that someone might slip something into it. Caution is a reality for most people. Another reality is the amount of trust that we put in other people. People can often fall short in keeping confidences private and arranged repayments of personal loans can fall short. We know such realities. Most of us know this from experience. It is the kind and generous souls that experience this sometimes repetitively. It is not that we throw caution to the wind. It’s part of our makeup. Many people can be like this. In reality it’s our reality. Being cautious where and when alcohol is being served is wise. We also learn that trust has to be earned. It’s reality. Peace.
