There is a condition that many people living in one day at a time recovery learn to take caution of and that is the condition of being hungry, angry. lonely and tired. When being hungry, angry, lonely and tired descends upon us like a perfect storm we know we are in the midst of the condition which is dubbed with the acronym called HALT. HALT has made a good many of us fall back into active addiction. We avoid facing HALT alone and we reach out for support when HALT bears its fangs. We have been told by those with experience any of these conditions without support is dangerous. This is the reality of being part of with those we are akin with who are in the rooms of recovery. Even just one of these is slippery when our spiritual condition is lacking. Another thing HALT becomes dangerously magnified when it’s hot. We reach out to those we are akin with and drink some cool water and get out of the heat. Perhaps we go to a meeting and we just don’t pick up. We’ll be okay. One day at a time we live in recovery. Peace.
