Those of us who live in one day at a time recovery benefit and heal when we hear compassionate words from others. Compassionate words not only help us to heal they also restore our faith in humanity, community, and ourselves. Our struggles with mental health disorders and our journey to live in recovery from active addiction is much more doable because of the kind souls who show us love in our quest to discover our inherent worth one day at a time. All we can say is that compassionate people don’t know how much they have helped us. What we hope others get to understand is that compassionate words have saved lives, changed lives, and has made living in recovery possible for us. With much gratitude we say thank you. Peace.
