Many people living in one day at a time recovery learn to think. In doing so we consider upon the reality and the benefits of living in recovery. Reality reveals to us such consideration causes growth. Much thought and a snippet of gratitude helps us to appreciate our own value and the value of other people. Recovery gives birth to the spiritual principal of kindness. When kindness grows we learn to be kind to ourselves, and in doing so we become kind to others. The world becomes a little better place to live in when we consider the difference between when we were living in constant struggle as opposed to living with the benefits and reality of one day at a time recovery. We now have manageable lives. We know our lives are not perfect but living is doable and we understand what other people mean when they say that they live happy, joyous and free lives. It’s a non-perpetual reality and we understand this as we recognize the growth we are being exposed to. It’s a pretty good life. We understand this with time. Peace.
