Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the reality of becoming clinically cynical about whether we can find happiness and purpose in our adventure to be or become truly recovering people. Often we see the world as the glass being empty or to very least half-empty. Often cynical beliefs or cynical life-styles occur because life’s adversity might have been or are extremely difficult for us to overcome. We can find relief in accepting what we cannot change. Also we participate in the reality of changing what we can especially if it helps us develop past the scourges of cynicism. In as such we find the reality of grace. Connection with other recovering people help us think this way and we can become grateful recovering people. Gratitude brings joy and the reality of purpose and happiness. It’s a developing gift. Peace.
