Having a comfortable life is important for people who are living in one day at a time recovery. Comfortable life does not mean that we will have all the bells and whistles afforded to those living with upper class incomes. Comfortable living means that we can be content with what we have and that we don’t have to stress ourselves so much that we will become ill or dissatisfied with our lives. It is important that we learn and appreciate this as a gift that our recovery has brought us. Even those of us who have a limited income are capable of finding comfortable living (though it does need to be adequate enough to meet our necessities). Having a comfortable living means we are healthy. It also means that we are reasonable and reasonably happy. And this means we can be happy, joyous, and free. Not perfect but comfortable. Life will have its struggles but we will do well. One day at a time we learn the joy of comfortable living.
